((Maritime)) Band Profile and Upcoming SXSW Concerts - Oh My Rockness

Did you ever notice that whenever a writer describes a supergroup, they always write "of sorts?" Like, "Maritime is a supergroup of sorts." Why do you need the "sorts" part in there? Is it because both words start with "s?" Either you are a supergroup, or you are not... figure it out!

I'm sure we've employed that verbal trick here at Oh My Rockness, but everyone knows hypocrisy is the new black, so we're casting all our cares. But moving on, Maritime is a supergroup of sorts featuring former Promise Ring singer Davey Von Bohlen and Eric Axelson, who was the bassist for The Dismemberment Plan.

This is a very pleasant band in the way that Stars is pleasant. It's synthy and sticky pop that never gets too gooey. You can listen to it while you work and not get a headache. They're like a musical Sudafed of sorts...
