Review: The Maine – Dyed (2008
The surprise new album from The Maine dropped mid-week, just as many fans of the band were en route to the 8123 Fest, taking place between January 16-17th in Mesa, Arizona. This new LP, called Dyed (2008 – 2023), features several re-worked demos/ideas from every era of The Maine’s discography, and yet it plays out much better than any other “compilation” of collected B-sides ever would. The reason why it works so well is that The Maine have the confidence to go in any direction they please, as was displayed on their 2024 single “Touch”, and further cemented on this latest record. The band have been no strangers to reinvention, as documented in their dynamic nine-album discography, and yet this album that touches on each of their past recordings showcases what The Maine are capable of creating when firing on all creative cylinders. While it may have been easier for the band to simply dust off these old demos and release them as-is, taking the easy road simply isn’t in The Maine’s DNA. Dyed brings the listener back to where it all started, offers a cohesive journey through their past work, all while still sounding like the band we have known and loved over time that continues to get better with age.

Amy Shark talked with ABC Radio NSW about her upcoming acoustic tour and how the government almost stopped her collaboration with Tom DeLonge:
“He was like, ‘We’ve gotta change the hook because I’m so in this government thing and all this UFO stuff; I’m in so deep with these guys; I just don’t want to bring attention to it!”
McDougall quipped, “If you’ve signed an NDA that you’re not allowed to talk about aliens, you can’t sing the word ‘alien.’ That actually makes a lot of sense.”
Shark took on the challenge and ended up changing the hook so the pair would sing, “You’re my only friend in the room.”

Greg Nori and Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley are suing each other.
Court documents reveal the Treble Charger frontman is seeking damages from Whibley for libel, in addition to “breach of confidence, intrusion upon seclusion, wrongful disclosure of private facts, and placing the plaintiff in a false light.”
Whibley has countered with his own notice of action against Nori, claiming $3 million in damages for “defamation and placing the plaintiff in a false light,” after the prominent Sault musician publicly accused him of being a liar once the allegations of sex abuse against Nori surfaced.
