The unlikelihood of getting signed as a new artist is seen as a given these days. What’s even more unusual is the prospect of submitting a record with so much impact that it drastically alters the structure of the label in question, but this what happened when Portland’s MAITA sent their recently completed record “Best Wishes” to Kill Rock Stars. “Best Wishes” will be released next year but ahead of the release MAITA have issued the album’s first single, “Can’t Blame A Kid”, a track that follows the roots of an old scar back to childhood, when front person Maria Maita-Keppeler found herself as the “quiet one,” trapped in the shadow of an overwhelming peer.
