Typically, power pop doesn't brandish much of a need for press. With The Maine we will beg to differ. Now with an extensive tour of the U.S. and All Time Low as their accomplice in these undertakings, we feel if you haven't already, check them out.
The Maine hone a sound somewhat reminiscent of The Starting Line with a taste of Third Eye Blind. They have a contest going on right now, too, that should interest some high schoolers out there. If you aren't a high schooler, you could care less, but perhaps you can get a kick out of their 'boy band' names for their individual MySpace pages - John O'Callaghan (johnohhh), Garrett Nickelsen (babynicko), Kennedy Brock (-same-), Jared Monaco (nOObstomper) and Pat Kirch (hellaboss). Hilarious, even if they weren't intended to be such chuckles.
The group most recently released Can't Stop Won't Stop off of Feearless Records while All Time Low just dropped So Wrong, It's Right. The tours dates are below along with a few mp3s.
