As soon as I started listening to this introductory demo from Liverpool 3 piece Hey Maxine! my first thoughts were 1) hell, that's good and 2) it sounds like something Crackle! Records would have put out a few years ago. Then I investigated further and discovered the guitarist/vocalist with the band was none other than Mark Murphy of Crocodile God (a band who are no strangers to that label). It's not just Mark that has an impressive résumé though, his bandmate's are none other than Mark Magill (Down And Outs) on bass and vocals and Gabrielle Dos Santos (Pardon Us) on drums and vocals. You'd think it'd be pretty much impossible for a band boasting that amount of talent to be anything less than fantastic and on the evidence presented by the 5 tracks on the demo you'd be dead right.
They play "simple pop-punk" and sound not too dissimilar to their other bands (which is a good thing). Short and sweet with only one of the tracks breaking the 2 minute mark, the ep is extremely promising. It's melodic, catchy and available as a name your price download on Bandcamp : https://heymaxine.bandcamp.com/album/demo-19

I'll play a different song on next Sunday's Just Some Punk Songs show but today I'm highlighting this beauty. Cops In Space....
