The Maine

With their aptly titled debut LP Can't Stop, Won't Stop, the Maine dive head-first into contagious, emo-touched pop-punk. The album flourishes with instrumental exploration -- like a tuba paired with twangy slide guitar and a bagpipe on "We'll All Be..." Bringing to mind Panic At The Disco's wildly popular debut, the Maine's experimental flair helps them stand out among the distorted six-strings and repetitive drumbeats of their lesser rivals.
