Mike Mains & The Branches

About the Artist

Formed in Texas and flourishing in Detroit, this indie rock collective has spent the last few years making waves around and in-between. Following the release of their debut album, Home, Mike Mains & the Branches used their unique sound, captivating live performances and relentless touring to carve out a firm place for themselves in the hearts of indie rock music fans everywhere.Spring 2013 brought them an exceedingly successful PledgeMusic campaign in which their fans funded 119% of their $35K goal, to allow them to record their sophomore record, Calm Down, Everything Is Fine. The time-frame surrounding the recording of the new album was by the far the most challenging and most rewarding experience of the bands' career--between getting their van and trailer stolen, re-recording the entire album, band members coming and going, they truly couldn't have chosen a more fitting album title. And despite it all, they captured that tension and channeled it-- in the form of 11 brand new songs that they are excited to finally share with the world. In February, the band released Calm Down, Everything Is Fine, which debuted at #15 on the Billboard Top New Artist Albums Chart. New York Minute Mag said it best: "In a time of Bieberesque silliness and hipster pretention, Mike Mains & The Branches are a voice of reason."
