Maxeen

Maxeen was a three-piece rock band based in Long Beach, California.

Signed to SideOneDummy Records in 2003, Maxeen released their debut eponymous album which was on an enhanced CD containing a photo slideshow with images by Leah Klinge and Jay Matsueda. In 2004, they signed to Warner Bros. Records and recorded their next album, Hello Echo, though it was never distributed and was instead only sold on tour and through online stores such as iTunes. Due to conflicts over the release of Hello Echo, Maxeen severed its contract with Warner Bros. Records in early 2007.

The members of Maxeen cite influences from early U2, The Police, Joe Jackson, The Replacements, The Jam, and many other purveyors of classic pop-rock music. The band's name is a tribute to the woman who helped get them going and inspired them to make something of their music.

Maxeen has toured with Relient K and the Rocket Summer on the Matt Hoopes Birthday Tour in February 2006, as well as Jonezetta, Action Action, and We Are the Fury. The Los Angeles based Sugarcult has asked Maxeen to tour with them several times.

    Poison June

    by: Maxeen

    pictures of you i adore
    strewn across the bedroom floor
    your letters chronological
    heartbeat away from trigger pull
    is it true what they speak of
    you don't quite ever get over
    your first love
    a stack of records ten feet high
    a thousand songs to make me cry
    under covers
    close the door
    i won't be coming out no more
    is it true what they speak of
    you don't quite ever get over
    your first love
    alcohol and concert hall
    consume that poison June
    alcohol and concert hall
    consume that poison June
    it's been roughly seven days
    since i've seen the suns warm rays
    mommy's worried, daddy's bored
    friends slip notes beneath the door
    sad but true the fact remains
    the static's driving me insane
    burn these photos clean the mess
    i'll off her boy to relieve some stress
    is it true what they speak of
    you don't quite get over
    your first love
    alcohol and concert hall
    consume the poison June
    alcohol and concert hall
    consume that poison June
    alcohol and concert hall
    consume that poison June
    poison me
    poison you
    alcohol and concert hall
    consume the poison June
    alcohol and concert hall
    consume that poison June
    pictures of you i adore
    strewn across the bedroom floor
    your letters chronological
    heartbeat away from trigger pull
    is it true what they speak of
    you don't quite ever get over
