Formed in Texas– 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 Pledge Music campaign in which their fans funded 119% of their $35K goal, allowing the band to record their sophomore record, Calm Down, Everything Is Fine.
The time-frame surrounding the recording of Calm Down was by the far the most challenging and most rewarding experience of the bands’ career thus far–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 2014, the band self-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.”
