Maine

The excitement surrounding The Maine doesn’t with the new tracks. The band has announced the upcoming release of their highly anticipated ninth full-length album, The Maine, set to be released on August 1st, 2023, a significant day for The Maine. Written as 8.1.23, it aligns with a unique combination of numbers that hold deep meaning for The Maine. The numbers 8123 originally adorned a parking garage where the band members and childhood friends used to hang out. Over time, 8123 has become intertwined with their music, appearing in their lyrics, as the name of their biennial music festival in their hometown’s desert, as tattoos on many of their fans, as the name of their record label, and as the nickname for their dedicated fanbase, known as the 8123 Family.
