Maroon 5
Favorite
Get Ringtone
A mix of polished pop/rock and neo-soul sex appeal made
Maroon 5
one of the most popular bands of the 2000s, with such radio-ready songs as
"This Love,"
"She Will Be Loved,"
and
"Makes Me Wonder"
all topping the charts worldwide . Previously, bandmates
Adam Levine
(vocals/guitar),
Jesse Carmichael
(keyboards),
Mickey Madden
(bass), and
Ryan Dusick
(drums) had spent the latter half of the '90s playing in the modern rock outfit
Kara's Flowers
, releasing their debut album for Reprise Records
while still attending high school. The record tanked, however, and
Kara's Flowers
found themselves dropped from the Reprise roster. After briefly attending college, the bandmates regrouped as
Maroon 5
, added former
Square
guitarist
James Valentine
to the lineup, and embraced a more R&B-influenced sound. Several years later, the quintet had officially risen to the forefront of popular music with the multi-platinum releases of
Songs About Jane
and
It Won't Be Soon Before Long
.
Songs About Jane
propelled the band into the mainstream, but the album was not an immediate hit. Octone Records had signed the newly christened
Maroon 5
in 2001, and the debut album
Jane
received a lukewarm response upon its in June 2002.
"Harder to Breathe"
became a radio staple 17 months later and was soon followed by the omnipresent
"This Love,"
whose steamy video (featuring frontman
Levine
and a barely clothed girlfriend) effectively wooed the TV-watching crowds at MTV.
Songs About Jane
finally entered the Billboard Top Ten in August 2004, more than two years after the album's release, and subsequent singles like
"She Will Be Loved"
and
"Sunday Morning"
helped the album move over 2.7 million copies by year's end.
Maroon 5
toured exhaustively in support of
Jane
's slow-developing success, issuing two stopgap recordings -- 2004's
1.22.03.Acoustic
and 2005's
Live Friday the 13th
-- while canvassing the world alongside
the Rolling Stones
and
John Mayer
. Their schedule was especially trying on percussionist
Dusick
, who sustained wrist and shoulder injuries and was often unable to play. By fall 2006,
Dusick
had been officially replaced by
Matt Flynn
(the former drummer for
Gavin DeGraw
), and the revised band released its sophomore effort in May 2007.
It Won't Be Soon Before Long
proved to be less popular than its predecessor (which had sold more than four million copies in the U.S. alone), but it still enjoyed double-platinum certification while spinning off the chart-topping single
"Makes Me Wonder."
Maroon 5
had cemented their status as pop/rock heavyweights, and they now had the powerful connections to prove it. Released in late 2008,
Call and Response: The Remix Album
reinterpreted the band's catalog with remixes by such influential figures as
Mary J. Blige
,
Mark Ronson
, and
Pharrell Williams

Next studio album (2008-present)
Levine has stated that he believes the band is reaching its peak and may make one more album before disbanding.[33] He explained "Eventually I want to focus on being a completely different person because I don’t know if I want to do this into my 40s and 50s and beyond, like the Rolling Stones."[34] The band hopes to have a new album ready by early 2010.[35]
The band will also perform in Salt Lake City for the Omniture conference. They have revealed titles of five songs from the forthcoming album; "How", "I'm Never Gonna Leave This Bed", "Wasted Years", "Last Chance", and "Don't Know Much About That".[citatio
