The Maine is an American pop/punk rock band from Tempe, Arizona founded in 2007 by Pat Kirch with Garrett Nickelsen. The band's name originates from the song "Coast of Maine" by Ivory. The Maine is made up of singer John O'Callaghan V, bassist Garrett Nickelsen, guitarists Kennedy Brock and Jared Monaco, and drummer Pat Kirch.

Their next release was a holiday EP in December 2008 titled ...And A Happy New Year, produced by Matt Grabe.[3] The EP included three new original tracks and a cover of Wham!'s song "Last Christmas".
In July 2009, a deluxe version of their debut album, Can't Stop, Won't Stop, along with a digital documentary called In Person was released and the band performed on the Vans Warped Tour.
