The Maine have finally returned from the darkness to give us a taste of their new album American Candy, set for release 31st March 2015. Their latest single ‘English Girls’ definitely lives up to our expectations – and hey, it had to, after the band disappeared from all social media throughout the long month of December to work on the much anticipated album, keeping fans tense for updates.

‘English Girls’ sounds like a mix between everything we know the band are capable of and everything we hoped they would be with the upcoming release. With a slight echo to their previous albums, particularly the Black Or White era, the song is a pleasantly upbeat, classic pop-rock track that despite the lack of depth to the lyrics, still makes you want to leap around and hear more of what The Maine are able to come up with. It’s the perfect taster to edge you towards pre-ordering the album.
‘English Girls’ is definitely a song you’ll want to blast over the summer with your windows down and your vocals up.
