Maple Hill are a pop-punk band from Ithaca, New York. Having released their debut album, Headspace, earlier this month, the band are looking to make 2016 their best year yet. Recently, Legendary Kids Press was able to speak with bassist Joel Beckwith about the album, as well as the band’s plans for the future.
How would you describe Maple Hill to those who have never listened to the band below?
In a nutshell, Maple Hill is a young, vibey alternative rock/pop-punk band whose sound is [somewhere] along the lines of Mayday Parade meets The Wonder Years. We focus on energetic and hard-hitting instrumentals with catchy melodies, as well as lyrics about relatable human experiences and emotions.
