MxPx have announced Living in the Chaos, their twelfth studio album and the follow-up to 2023’s Find a Way Home. The band will release it independently on January 29, 2027, continuing the fan-first, self-release model it now uses for records and merchandise.
The announcement arrives with “Panic Attack,” a 2:40 single released on October 21 alongside an official music video. MxPx’s own smart link connects the song to Spotify and the video, while preorders for the album are open through the band’s store. The standard track list includes “The Good Days,” “Mind Control” and “No Kings.”
Physical editions add two songs that will not appear on the standard digital sequence: “Once in a Lifetime” and “Nervous Energy.” That makes the vinyl and CD more than packaging variants, a detail worth noting before choosing a format. The band is also due at Warped Tour in Orlando in November and Australia’s Good Things Festival in December, giving the new single an immediate live runway.
More than three decades after forming in Bremerton, MxPx are handling a full album campaign on their own terms rather than treating independence as a side project. “Panic Attack” starts that cycle with both a stream and a performance-focused visual, while the January date gives the group a clear destination for the next three months of touring and releases.

Why it matters
A new MxPx album remains a meaningful guitar-driven punk release, and the physical-only tracks make the band’s independent preorder campaign unusually consequential for format choice.
