The Maine are about to release their new album ‘Joy Next Door’, and have made their way onto national television as part of its promo.
The band have made an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show and delivered a stirring rendition of the album’s lead single ‘Die To Fall’. A reminder that, even 20 years in, there are still chances for you to do things that you never thought you would.
The performance itself is beautiful, showcasing the song’s layers of heart, soul and vigour, with vocalist John O’Callaghan putting in a rigorously bold display, and somehow standing still for the duration of the track. It’s a wonderful way of showing just how far the band have come, both musically and physically, and sets up the album’s release perfectly.
A band called The Maine, live and direct to your living room. It doesn’t get better than that. Have a watch for yourself.
‘Joy Next Door’ will be released on April 10 via Photo Finish Records.
Drummer Pat Kirch had this to say about the record as a whole, stating, “Every album of ours has a color that represents it, and Joy Next Door is the green era. The green grass on the album art feels like it matches perfectly with the organic instrumentation and imperfections left intact on the album.”
The band will be heading out on the road in support of the record on both sides of the Atlantic. Here are all of the tour dates.
