Interview: Joel Beckwith of Maple Hill

image

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.

You recently released your debut album, Headspace. How has fan reaction been thus far?

The reaction to our debut album, Headspace, has been great so far! Some awesome music blogs and websites have taken the time to review the album and that’s definitely helped with the internet promotion especially. We’ve also been getting some responses from people all across the world who we didn’t even know our music was reaching. We’re all just really happy that people can finally hear this album we put so much effort into.
