MAPLE STAVE (Durham, NC) have been making exciting, angular rock music for over ten years. The band formed in 2003 and set forth with an aesthetic rooted in the ‘90s Chicago and Louisville music scenes. Despite several years of band members living on different coasts, they managed to release three EPs and a one full length album. Now reunited in Durham, have released their new album "V." 

"From the outset, they seemed a band with a good idea of how they wanted to sound—that is, a fiery mix of Midwestern indie rock titans like Shellac, Slint and Shipping News. Over the last seven years, they've just gotten better at sounding that way by adding nuance and new twists." - IndyWeek
