Maxeen is a three-piece rock band based out of Los Angeles, California, consisting of Tom Bailey (vocals/bass), Robb Torres (guitar), and Jay Skowronek (drums). Shannon McMurray, former guitarist, left the band in 2006 to pursue other career goals. Signed to SideOneDummy Records in 2003, Maxeen released their debut eponymous album. 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. Max
