Maximum Joy were a post-punk band from Bristol, England.
When Glaxo Babies split in 1979, Dan Catsis, Charles Llewellyn and Tony Wrafter formed Maximum Joy with Janine Rainforth (vocals/clarinet) and John Waddington (formerly of The Pop Group, on guitar and vocals). After a few singles in 1981 and 1982, the band released the Adrian Sherwood-produced album Station MXJY in October 1982. After a subsequent single, a cover of Timmy Thomas' "Why Can't We Live Together", recorded with Dennis Bovell, the band split.
A retrospective, Unlimited was released in 2007.
