Beautiful, blissful pop music - featuring members of Elliott Smith's band and Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks.
Bio / Background
The Maroons deliver exhilarating, highly melodic pop music that is sugary sweet, but not afraid to rock. This is some of the most memorable pop music you're likely to hear in 2002.
Front man John Moen has played drums for some of the Northwest's most influential artists, including Elliott Smith, The Spinanes, Fastbacks, Pete Krebs and the Gossamer Wings, and Heatmiser (to name a few). Moen is currently the drummer for Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks. The Maroons' keyboard player, Mike Clark, can be seen playing guitar/keyboards for Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks. The Maroons' lead guitarist Jim Talstra has played in Minus 5 and bassist John Cox is a member of surf-rockers Satan's Pilgrims. Rounding out the line-up is Eric Bennes on drums.
You're Gonna Ruin Everything is The Maroons sophomore release, a contagious, danceable collection of warm, brilliant pop music sure to appeal to the indie rockers, pop fanatics, and power-pop fans alike.
↓ more ↓Moen's pretty, inviting voice is intoxicating, filling you with the beautiful sounds he creates, while the rest of the band captures the essence and creates a lush pop backdrop for you to dwell in as Moen's voice smoothes you over and puts a smile on your face.
If you were to judge The Maroons on their affiliations, they would be unstoppable. However, every band should be judged on their music, and not their connections. With this in mind, The Maroons pass with flying colors, as You're Gonna Ruin Everything is one of the best records of 2002, an album critics and fans alike will surely flock to, making more than a few "best of" lists this year.

Ultra-catchy and jangly indie rock from Portland favorites the MAROONS. This record is maybe a little less inspired than their earlier work... but it stands up well over time and was one of the best records of 2002. A really fun listen, with songs that will get stuck in your head for days!
