Bands to Watch: The Maine

Article By - Kat Quach

The Maine is an alternative pop rock band that originates from Tempe, Arizona. The band members include John O’Callaghan (vocals, piano), Kennedy Brock (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Pat Kirch (drums and percussion), Jared Monaco (lead guitar) and Garrett Nickelsen (bass). They released their first EP “Stay Up, Get Down” back in late 2007 and their first full length album “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” in late 2008. The Maine’s most recent studio album is called “American Candy” and was released back in March this year. Songs from “American Candy” are a various mix of chill and laid back songs like “My Hair”, as well as upbeat songs that you can jam out and dance too like “English Girls”. American Candy can easily be enjoyed by anybody as it includes a variety of catchy songs that can please everyone. Overall it was a successful album with a massive, positive reaction that definitely made their tour for American Candy in the Spring of 2015 super exciting where the boys toured with Real Friends and Knuckle Puck.
