Use this thread to discuss the state of hair in music in 2006.

I mean, Bobby Charlton as a style icon? How about no.

He needs to apply some pressure to that curl.

Let's not forget that this is Max Park after they've been 'styled'. Honestly. You should have seen them early doors. They made Kaiser Chefs look like Roxy Music.

apparently he's got extremely curly hair, but i don't know why ironing it into a combover is preferable to an afro.

It just looks so fucking disgusting to touch. I mean YUCK people! There's hard core greasy rocker and then there's so product that it looks slicked back by a giant tongue.

I rather like it. At least it's different. He also has really amazing skin, although I should clarify I'm coming from a position of envy here, rather than lust.

Takes him three hours to 'build' that do, apparently.

Judging by the second photo, he needs to get a lot taken off the back to be able to make that haircut look okay.

five years pass...

Some of the other band members and Sarah Suri have been recording as Nano Kino, whose last EP is pretty decent imo:

Luckily this isn't the only Maximo Park thread. There's also
What is up with Maximo Park's Hat?

Maximo Park isn't the name of the singer – what a rookie error. He is called PAUL HAT, as anyone will tell you. (Or in Dutch, Maxïmo Combover )

anyway, 'Apply Some Pressure' is pretty much one of the only mid-2000s landfill indie songs I like(d)
