The Maureens are the perfect soundtrack for a late summer night, though the band gives you that feeling just as easily on a sunday afternoon in February. Guitar pop inspired by the greats of the golden 60s and 70s; songs you hum along to after one listen. Originating from the central Utrecht music scene in 2012, the band nowadays operates from the rural east of the Netherlands. It hasn’t changed the sound of The Maureens: the melancholic songs of Hendrik-Jan de Wolff exude love of melody and harmony. Where the industry standards revolve around Spotify and Apple Music, The Maureens prefer to sell boxes of vinyl via Spanish record label Meritorio. They’ve played prime time on Dutch television and prominent Dutch music critic Leo Blokhuis included the album 'Bang The Drum' in his annual list for OOR magazine. The band is about to release their fourth full length: 'Everyone Smiles'. Recorded last year with legendary Dutch producer Frans Hagenaars in studio SSE-Noord: Another chapter added to the quest for the ultimate song. The band has played living rooms, venues such as Paradiso (Amsterdam), Tivoli (Utrecht) and went to England to play the Liverpool Cavern Club. A Spanish tour is set to happen, after it was canceled in 2020 due to Corona.The journey is not over yet and the urge to write new songs and visit new places is stronger than ever.
