Sometimes typos can make otherwise boring shit a little more lulzy. Take for example, our friends in AZ-emo outfit The Maine, who besides having the best fucking tour manager in the entire music industry, Peter Digby Sellers, also happen to have 234928237 13-year-old girls as fans. Thus they are partnering up with teen girl outfitter and longstanding staple of mallville Wet Seal for a promotion, which includes an exclusive shirt designed by the homie Jimmy Richards and a bunch of in-stores during the bands current tour. Cool enough for them, but not really headline making material. However, the e-mail from the band’s label announcing this promotion was enough to make anyone with a dirty mind (basically, anyone who works at Synthesis) have a good laugh.
In return for a good laugh, I’ll go ahead and post the press release after the jump for any who are interested: (more…)

Though The Maine’s is definitely cornier than both sides of Interstate 80 through Iowa, the band is basically blowing the fuck up: currently on tour with Boys Like Girls and Good Charlotte, the band’s debut full length, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop scanned over 12,000 records in its first week to land the band a spot in the top 40 on the Billboard charts and thats just the start: its a proven fact that once Video Matt interviews a band their weekly scans increase by 2349%, so expect next week’s numbers to be on Diamond status. Add to that, the fact that the band is now employing the Cadillac of Minivans of Tour Managers, Peter Digby Sellers, shit is coming together like fucking Voltron for these AZ kids. Check out the interview above then put your stunna shades on and get hyphy only without the whole hip-hop part.
