The Maine

About

The Maine are an American rock band from Tempe, Arizona, formed in January 2007 while most members were still in high school. The five-piece - vocalist John O'Callaghan, guitarists Jared Monaco and Kennedy Brock, bassist Garrett Nickelsen, and drummer Pat Kirch - built their career independently after leaving Warner Bros., releasing ten studio albums and running their own 8123 artist collective. Their sound spans pop-punk, alternative rock and melodic rock, and they are known for meeting every fan for free after each show.
