Of course, not every group has the benefit of timing witness The Format, an indie-pop duo who issued two beloved LPs (2003’s Interventions + Lullabyes and 2006’s Dog Problems) of whimsical, 70’s-inspired pop but never quite found their footing in the mainstream, though they received their fair degree of accolades within the scene. That album, and particularly single “ The Middle”, caught the leading edge of emo’s mainstream breakthrough, a wave they rode to platinum success. And in the early 00’s, Jimmy Eat World caught the same magic as the Gin Blossoms when their beautiful 1999 album Clarity sunk without a trace, the band cut ties with Capitol and recorded their follow-up, the equally excellent Bleed American, on their own. Tracks like “ Hey, Jealousy” and “ Found Out About You” might have been buried in the “college rock” world just a few years prior (indeed, “Hey Jealousy” didn’t catch on with radio until nearly a year after its release) the Gin Blossoms arrived just as alternative became mainstream, and reaped the rewards.Ī few years later, Roger Clyne-fronted power-poppers the Refreshments found buzz-bin success with the cheeky “ Banditos” though their star faded fast, they’ve maintained their popularity in Arizona to this day as their alter-egos, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers.

In the early 90’s, the Gin Blossoms ran off a series of massive hits due in no small part to some fortuitous timing. That’s not coincidence - the Phoenix / Tempe / Mesa metro has a long legacy of acts who have found success (and just as importantly, acceptance) making radio-friendly rock music. The Maine are but one of a number of pop-centric rock bands to arise out of Phoenix, Arizona in the late 2000s.
