Interview: The Maine talk who’s in their phone book and more

The Maine are no strangers to the alt-rock scene and their sixth studio album is like a work of art, seriously, give it a place in a gallery already. We caught up with Jared from the band to find out who he’s got in his phone book and more.

Apply Sunscreen. Liberally.

YOU of course! Don’t act like we don’t listen to The 1975.

Some of us used to be in hardcore bands growing up.

It’s a photo of Ken and myself helping to set up the stage for our album release show in NYC. Somehow, I think it turned out like a renaissance painting and it makes me laugh.

George R.R. Martin to finish Game of Thrones.

Thinking about outer space for too long.

WAGAMAMA. Or maybe just a mountain of chips!

With our new album, ‘You Are OK’, we are setting personal records left and right. None of it would be possible without our amazing team back home.

‘Everlong’ by The Foo Fighters.

Yep! Mayday Parade and the Night Riots boys.

How are you doing today? The answer? OK.

John, Kennedy, Pat, Garrett because that means we’re probably playing a show.

Always hungry.

Baby, I was born this way.
