[edit] Classification
If Copeland isn't classified as Emo, this really isn't. I'd say their genre is just Indie Rock. (Although its really progressive power pop, maybe with a touch of emo here and there. But its really not emo.) Also, in an interview, when asked about being classified emo, he said "I don't really like the term emo". If anybody has any complaints, please reply. -- TheJosher
- I agree that they're not emo, but by no means are they indie rock either. I quote the wikipedia article on power pop:
- Power pop ... is characterized by strong melodies, crisp vocal harmonies, economical arrangements and prominent guitar riffs, with instrumental solos kept to a minimum, and blues elements largely downplayed.
- Based on this definition, I can't really think of a much better classification for Mae. I am going to change the article to reflect this. JesusjonezTalk 03:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, that makes a lot of sense. But they are an indie band. -- Underwater 13:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

- Being on an independent record label does not make you an indie rock band. The term "indie rock" is contemporarily used to describe a genre of music, not a bands record label status. I'll agree that they're an independent band, but not an indie rock band. JesusjonezTalk 02:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I'm thinking we should add a section to this page, just about Mae's touring... the first and second paragraph have a lot of information that's constantly changing about their tours and doesn't seem to fit too well there, so how about adding another section for it? Just wondering.... Underwater 19:19, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
They are a Christian rock band. Plain and simple. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.214.165.229 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 16 February 2006.
- No. No they are not. -- Underwater 14:50, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- I'd agree... they're not Christian rock. They may be Christians, but its not explicity a Christian band. In an interview, Dave said "As far as religion goes, I don't know... we're not a Christian band. We're Christian guys but I guess we just write about life and songs people can identify with." -- Josh 16:55, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Well, I'll be cake.
I guess I didn't listen to my songs all that well. It's understandable that I'd miss Tisbury Lane's religous overtone (I've only had the b-sides for a week). Still, I don't think it's near enough to call them "Christian". Nikkelitous 03:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Small Question
Why did Dave change his name? I'm just curious Jubella 19:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- That was asked directly to him on the message boards a while ago... he responded that it was just changed for personal reasons, meaning it's pretty much none of our buisness. Oh, well. I'm going to go add that information to the articals now! Underwater 14:00, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
