BIOGRAPHY

The name originates from one of the greatest children's books ever written, "Where The Wild Things Are", The Max was born out of several other bands around the Nashville area. The Hot Rocks, Slow Dither, and Lunchbox Mysteries. "We're interested in writing great songs and making people dance." says Chad with a huge grin. "It's more about having fun and making music then anything else." Joe continues, "We jammed together once, and the very next week we were in the studio pumping out great tunes." Having been recording engineers for several years now, Adam Deane and Matt Coles are a production team to be reckoned with. Having worked on numerous hit records with the best Nashville has to offer, these guys know how to make records. The Max haven't been around for long, but they are sure to get your attention real fast.
