I like to think that I had a little to do with Mae’s success. I know this can’t be farther from the truth, but after I saw them in concert, I told all my friends. I ended up interviewing the lead singer at a McDonald’s, which was across the street from the venue in Indianapolis. They opened up for The Starting Line, which was also very good.

Mae is a band from the Richmond, VA area. They released two albums on Tooth and Nail, which signs predominantly Christian rock acts. T&N doesn’t consider themselves as a Christian label, since they do sign bands that consider themselves as secular, like Mae and Emery. Their newest album, “Singularity,” was released on Capitol Records. It has a little different sound, more like Goo Goo Dolls than anything else.

Here is an oldie from Mae, “Suspension.”
