About Me

..
"Grunge meeting metal apparently equates to some friction. Brushing aside an ability to understand set times they played a fantastic set. They have quite a mystical quality to their performances and manage to create an atmosphere to their music that is quite difficult to replicate. They're not the heaviest band, the loudest or the quietest so it's not a quantifiable feature .... I think there's a passion and integrity in the way they present themselves that most people instinctively tune into because every lyric written means something and every beat and note is planned and thought about carefully." - The Lounge Bar, Battle for Bloodstock
Maiea are currently in the studio recording their self-titled debut album.
All eyes to the front.
We have collectively decided to make a 'go of it'. Its gonna be hard, its gonna be a bitch. But we don't care.
If anyone wants to help us out with gigs, we will return the favour in kind. If you like our stuff, let us know- its this sort of encouragement that will make the slog easier on our egos...
We are currently looking to get in with a promoter and management, so if you're either, drop as an email. Or if you just want to help out with anything let us know.
Lets rebirth good music. There are some real good bands out there (check our friends) that are so underground it hurts. Hit them up n you won't be disappointed.
