Deep in the Piako swamplands, The Vile Maxim is a four-headed noise machine delivering fast, abrasive punk with no polish and no restraint. Carved from the rusted bones of the Waikato underground, our sound is built on speed, grit and pure live energy.People don’t watch our shows. They survive them.
