Maroon 5 first formed as 4-piece under the name Kara’s Flowers in 1994. Fronted by Adam Levine, Kara’s Flowers based their name on a girl the band members had a ‘collective crush on.’

Kara’s Flowers recorded one album, but their first attempt was unsuccessful and forced the band to rethink and eventually led the band to change their name to Maroon 5 and musical direction. Maroon 5’s debut, ‘Songs About Jane’ was released in 2002 and saw the band opting for a straighter pop/rock sound which enjoyed great success with songs such as ‘This Love’ and ‘She Will Be Loved.’

Touring ‘Songs about Jane’ and writing new material delayed the follow-up for 5 years but when ‘It won’t be Soon Before Long’ was finally released in 2007 the album mirrored the success of it’s predecessor. Maroon 5’s Adam Levine believes that ‘It won’t be Soon Before Long’ was a stronger album than their first one and this time the band had taken inspiration from 80’s artists such as Prince, Michael Jackson and Talking Heads.

Current album, ‘Hands All Over,’ the highly anticipated 3rd studio album was recorded by the band in Switzerland and features the single ‘Misery.’ ‘Hands All Over’ is a much poppier effort than the band’s previous albums and has found many new fans, pushing the album to #2 in the album charts in its first week of going on sale.
