Despite sharing their name with a northeastern state, the Maine formed in 2007 in Tempe, AZ, a collegiate suburb of Phoenix. Most of the bandmembers -- singer John O'Callaghan, guitarists Kennedy Brock and Jared Monaco, bassist Garrett Nickelsen, and drummer Pat Kirch -- were in high school at the time, and the guys wasted little time turning their '90s radio rock band influences into a familiar, infectious pop-punk sound. The Maine signed to Fearless Records and released a five-song concept EP, The Way We Talk, in 2007. After performing on the Vans Warped Tour one year later, the group issued a full-length debut album, Can't Stop Won't Stop, which was produced by emo-pop veteran Matt Squire. The record peaked at number 40 on the Billboard charts and caught the ear of Warner Bros. Records, who signed the Maine to a major-label contract in 2009. After releasing a deluxe version of Can't Stop Won't Stop later that year, the group returned to the studio, eventually emerging in 2010 with the sophomore album Black & White. ~ Steve Leggett, RoviDespite sharing their name with a northeastern state, the Maine formed in 2007 in Tempe, AZ, a collegiate suburb of Phoenix.

I've been anticipating this day for almost 2 months!! I was so excited to be seeing all these bands that I loved and when the day came the concert didn't disappoint at all I had so much fun.
The Maine is a fantastic band! Really that's all you need to know - a little bit pop, a (very) little bit punk, and a little rock n roll. They are just such a great band to see live that you are left wanting more . Highly Recommend!
While I could've done without Austin Gibbs (no offense to him) - Augustana was pretty good (anyone else think he has a Jakob Dylan vibe going?) The Maine was incredible! A great setlist with lots of favourites, and the new song was awesome! Definitely see them again
