This week on Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by John O'Callaghan of The Maine.The Maine are celebrating a big year. After another unmissable year of Sad Summer, where they headlined (and performed a pretty great cover of Taylor Swift’s “cruel summer”), the band released their ninth studio album, and first self-titled project, in August. They’re also in the midst of touring their Sweet 16, where they’re reflecting on nearly two decades of being a band by performing sets featuring songs from all of their albums night after night.
