Yes please.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Maine<\/strong>\u00a0frontman John O’Callaghan sat down for an in-depth discussion with Ed Masley about their brand new album ‘You Are Ok’, and it was pretty illuminating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

John shared that one of the band’s goals is to play the Comeria Theatre in their hometown of Phoenix, Arizona- and to bring along a whole string section for the affair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It would be great to play Comerica Theatre, and have people on stage playing those string arrangements, and playing with us and having real strings,”<\/em> he shared. “I think if we work hard we\u2019ll see.”<\/em><\/p>\n

He continued “Let\u2019s get to a place where we can actually bring people out on tour and experience that with them on stage, and share that with people live. Because it\u2019s something that I think would definitely push us as a band and as musicians. It\u2019s definitely a bucket list thing.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking on how the band will perform their new single ‘Numb Without You’ live without a string section, he shared “The strings will predominantly be a part of the track- so we\u2019ll play to the strings for now. But it\u2019s one of those things that\u2019s like- if we dont have them in there the song\u2019s gonna fall flat. For most of the ones that feature the strings Steve Jobs will play them, and we\u2019ll figure it out from there.”<\/em><\/p>\n

He also shared that The Maine have intentionally taken their new album more left-field, saying “We wanted to make it as manic as possible, without scaring people away.”<\/em><\/p>\n

But John hasn’t been mulling over the album, preferring to leave it until it’s released at this point- “We\u2019ve spent so much time with it, and I\u2019ve purposely not listened to the songs because I know I\u2019m going to have to play them for hopefully two years.”<\/em><\/p>\n
