Rainer Maria is a rock band catagorized in the emo/screamo/indie rock genre of music, defined by MTV as an "emo trio." Named after the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, they formed in the late summer of 1995 and have released four full length albums, a live DVD, and numerous live recordings and EPs. The ambiguity of the name Rainer Maria matches their male and female vocal lineup.

The group's fifth studio album (produced by Malcom Burn) is set for release in January 2006.
