Debuting within their native SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, Maxiwagon quickly founded themselves in the encompassing indie pop environment. Making use of their fuse of jumpy, punk acoustic guitar riffs backed by way of a circulation of bouncy indie pop, the lineup of Dave Bergman (vocals/acoustic guitar), Janna (bass), and Frank (drums) ultimately caught the eye of Omnibus Information in 1999. That same season, Maxiwagon ultimately released their first record, Call in Ill.
