Nowadays, indie rock is such an arbitrary genre we’ve invented zillions of offshoots based on things like a band’s aesthetic or sound. Calling something “indie rock” is the opposite of definitive. With that in mind, I’m going to go ahead and call out Maura as a classy as hell indie rock band with pop-punk influences. One-liners off their “Me and my Friends” EP like “I’m working weekends for the rest of my life” and “you’re the type to make me not wanna try” are sure to make you sing along sophomore year style. Fans of the Max Levine Ensemble and RVIVR should definitely fit Maura in heavy rotation. – Hillary Anderson
