Following last month’s much-anticipated announcement of their forthcoming new LP, Joy Next Door, set for an April 10 release date, as well as the unveiling of “Die To Fall,” the first single off the new project , The Maine – John O’Callaghan, Kennedy Brock, Jared Monaco, Garrett Nickelsen, and Pat Kirch – are peeling back the curtain even more on their new album. Today, The Maine present their incredibly loyal fanbase dubbed the “8123 Family” with another taste of their new LP with “Quiet Part Loud,” an entirely mesmerizing new single off their forthcoming tenth studio album.
“Some songs take months or years to write, and some take hours. This one came together quickly out of necessity, because time is sometimes not on your side. With that notion in mind…say what you want while you still can. ” -John O’Callaghan
“Talk to me just like there’s no one around,” O’Callaghan pleads on “Quiet Part Loud,” martial drums and an enchanting vocal effect propelling the pulsating, almost therapeutically intimate new addition to The Maine’s already-cherished catalog.
Arriving at the height of the band’s career, the forthcoming Joy Next Door is arguably the band’s most essential album yet. Unsurprisingly for a band that’s always valued the artistry and craft of an album, the new LP was written and recorded in sequential order to emphasize the storytelling approach to the LP. Furthermore, following the band’s longstanding tradition of each era relating to a specific color, the Joy Next Door era is green.
“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,” says Pat Kirch (drums)
As The Maine gears up for the release of Joy Next Door, they’re hitting the road beginning in March for their first headline tour in nearly two years — the biggest on sale of their career to date. Additionally, they’ll be performing their new single “Die To Fall” on The Kelly Clarkson Show this April.
Kicking off on March 24, 2026 at the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas, the Maine’s 26-date headlining tour finds the beloved five-piece gracing legendary stages across the country, in locales from their native Phoenix to Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn and beyond.
A vibrant and ever-evolving rock band with over one Billion global streams to date and more than 1 million followers across social media, The Maine have cultivated a dedicated fanbase over their nearly two decade career that’s included nine studio albums (2008-2023), five of which charted on the Billboard 200. They’ve continued to chart their own course since their inception with their 2008 debut album, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, including the Top Five Alternative Radio hit in 2022 with “Loved You A Little.” Over the course of their acclaimed career, the band has toured and performed at festivals worldwide, including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, as well as headlining their own sold-out 8123 Fest in their hometown of Tempe, Arizona.
