The Maureens are the soundtrack of the perfect late-summer evening, but that feeling works just as well in October or February. Their guitar-driven pop exudes a warm, timeless atmosphere while daring to take quirky turns: fresh and catchy, yet also steeped in intense melancholy, resulting in a sound entirely their own.

Five albums and around seventy songs later, Maureens are celebrating their fifteenth anniversary this yearan adventure that began in the Utrecht music scene. The band members now live across the country, but their signature sound remains intact: the songs of singer/guitarist Hendrik-Jan de Wolff are infused with a love for melody and harmony, evident in every arrangement.

Their previous album Everyone Smiles received remarkably positive reviews, including coverage in OOR and four stars in de Volkskrant. For their fifth and most recently recorded album, Dont Give Up, they returned to the studio with Frans Hagenaars. Most of the record was recorded live in a remote wooden cottage in the Belgian Ardennes, giving the songs a raw, immediate energy. Once again, they are writing a new chapter in their quest for the ultimate song.

Maureens have performed in living rooms and major venues like Paradiso and TivoliVredenburg, toured Spain, and closed a show at the legendary Cavern Club in Liverpool. Their hunger for writing new songs and playing in new places remains as strong as ever.
