Alien conspiracies and punk rock? Who knew they’d be the perfect match? Apparently Maximum Effort. Mixing UFO-conspiracy-theorist literature and chugging punk power chords, Maximum Effort has brought fun back to the St. Louis punk scene. More rock than punk, this south-city quartet exhibits proficient musical skill, coupled with catchy-as-hell punk riffs. Stylistically similar to the West Coast punk sound of the late ’70s/early ’80s, ME conjures memories of Dangerhouse Records bands and the Angry Samoans. Lead singer Nick Zengerling’s paranoid lyricism rants and raves with tales of black helicopters, secret agents and government cover-ups. –Riverfront Times, March 17, 2011
