Maritime-Parade of Punk Rock T-ShirtsMelodic indie rock at its best,
Maritime features ex-Promise Ring and Dismemberment Plan members with these simple but so catchy and fun hooks and effortless vocals. Everything bounces, but with such flow and smoothness that it doesn't stretch your nerves or energy on end. There's nothing super inventive at work here, but these classics--the sweeping riffs, the side by side drumlines, the basic vocals with those backing chorus and little fourishes, they are crafted so well that all that matters is the song itself, so enjoyable, and so suitable for the little repeat button hours on end.
