The Maine is an American pop-punk band from Tempe, Arizona.
[edit] HistoryThe Maine's original lineup was formed in 2007 by drummer Pat Kirch, Ryan Osterman, Alex Ross, bassist Garrett Nickelsen, and singer John O'Callaghan, while Pat and Garrett were still seniors in High School. [3] O'Callaghan was asked to join the band by Pat's brother Tim Kirch, who also manages the band through his firm 8123 Management. Some of the bands biggest influences are Third Eye Blind, Ivory, Death Cab For Cutie,and The Starting Line In the spring of 2007, they added Kennedy who sang in a band, called Last Call For Camden (now The Summer Set), and with whom The Maine had performed. That same year, Ryan Osterman left the band, to take another path in music. They eventually added Jared Monaco. The Maine got their name from a song called "Coast of Maine" by Ivory, one of the band's general influences. [edit] AlbumsOn May 8, 2007, the band self-released a digital EP called Stay Up, Get Down. Among the songs on the EP is "Count 'Em One, Two, Three" which was later re-recorded for their first full-length album, Can't Stop, Won't Stop. The Way We Talk EP is their sophomore EP. They recorded a cover of Akon's hit song "I Wanna Love You" for both the Yo! Indie Rock Raps album and the Punk Goes Crunk album, even though it was also put in the EP. Can't Stop, Won't Stop was their first full-length album which was released in the summer of 2008. It was produced by Matt Squire (Boys Like Girls, Panic at the Disco) [4][5]. Their first single off this album was "Everything I Ask For" for which they recorded a video. It was, technically, the first real video they had done, although they had recorded footage to make a music video for their song "Fresh" (later renamed "The Way We Talk"). They released a holiday EP on December 9, 2008 titled "...And A Happy New Year". Which included a cover of Wham!'s song "Last Christmas" and three original songs by the band. The version of "Ho Ho Hopefully" that appears on this EP, however, is a re-recorded version they did with the band Eisley, where the original version featured Brighten. The band also made a home-made video for the original version. The Maine released a deluxe version of their debut album, Can't Stop, Won't Stop, along with a digital documentary called "In Person" on July 14, 2009. Although many of the listeners have considered their music to be based upon girls, during an interview, John O'Callaghan stated, that their songs are more about going through life and experience, and figure yourself out as a young person, and the same time falling in and out of relationships. [edit] ToursThe Maine spent the summer of 2008 opening on the Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour, alongside Boys Like Girls, Good Charlotte, and Metro Station. They spent two weeks performing on the Vans Warped Tour 2008 on the Smartpunk stage. In the fall of 2008, The Maine continued touring, along with All Time Low, Mayday Parade, and Every Avenue in the "The Compromising of Integrity, Morality and Principles in Exchange for Money" tour. In February and March 2009, The Maine toured with We The Kings, The Cab, There For Tomorrow, and VersaEmerge on "The Secret Valentine Tour." March 20 was the kickoff to the 2009 Rockstar Energy Drink AP Tour, a completely sold out tour on every date with the exception of one, in which The Maine is Co-Heading along with 3OH!3, Family Force 5, Hit the Lights, and A Rocket to the Moon, until the closing date May 9. They played the entire summer on the Hurley Stage at the 2009 Warped Tour. The Maine played on the Fall 2009 "Love Drunk Tour" with Boys Like Girls, Cobra Starship, A Rocket To The Moon, and VersaEmerge. There have been rumors circulating about a headlining tour in the spring of 2010. However John O'Callaghan announced in Scottsdale on a December 17th concert, that "the band will be going away for awhile," to write a new record. Recently they have also said they would like to visit Australia soon and mentioned coming back to the UK in 2010. The group has also played with bands such as Brighten, Paramore, The Summer Set, The Academy Is..., Bayside, This Providence,[6] Just Surrender, Lorene Drive,[5], Powerspace, Danger:Radio, The Secret Handshake, Ivoryline, The Morning Light, All Time Low, Forever The Sickest Kids, Scenes and Sirens, The Friday Night Boys, Meg & Dia, Dressed Up for Sunday, Metro Station, Boys Like Girls, A Rocket to the Moon, 3OH!3, and Neon Party Ball.
