Their first new music since the release of their 2023 self-titled album, The Maine have shared vibrant, summer anthem ‘Touch’, alongside a cryptic music video.
Marking an official end to their self-titled era, ‘Touch’ appears to signal a fresh direction for the Arizona band.
A short-but-sweet pop-punk tune, the new track is released alongside a music video featuring frontman John O’Callaghan, with a cryptic message of ‘The Maine Is Dead’ flashing throughout.
Have a listen to ‘the new version ‘Touch’ via its video below.
In an Instagram post celebrating the track’s release, the band shared:
“On another episode of, “This Doesn’t Sound Like The Maine,” we dive into the sonic drama of their new song “Touch.” Seventeen years in, I too am unsure if TM has an actual sound, but all I know is that this is where our creative taste took us and to me it sounds like a rattlesnake in the trousers.”
Earlier this year, The Maine celebrated 16 years of their band with a special show in London – read Rock Sound’s full review of the evening here.
