Maxfield

The past year has been a non-stop rollercoaster ride for MAXFIELD. . Various radio appearances, sharing the stage with the likes of The Guillemots, The Magic Numbers and Air Traffic to name a few and an appearance on Channel 4's Road To V 2007, MAXFIELD are exploding onto the British music scene with off-the-wall charisma, ruthless ambition and killer tunes. As one reviewer said: "This band has a touch of Nirvanaesque going on, sprinkled with Lenny Kravitz meet Red Hot Chilli Peppers and oozing Asian Dub Foundation, but with a female attitude, IT ROCKS" ****
MAXFIELD are currently putting the finishing touches to their eagerly awaited debut album which is due to crash land in your stereo mid-2008.
