Wheel Fever - Let's Rawk!

Maroon 5

Maroon 5

Maroon 5 is a Grammy Award winning American rock band originating from Los Angeles, California. The band is comprised of five members. They are: Adam Levine (vocals, guitar) - this guy has quite a good range, James Valentine (guitar, vocals), Jesse Carmichael (keyboards, vocals), Mickey Madden (bass guitar) and Matt Flynn (drums, percussion). All of their songs are appealing because of the inherent style and unique melody. My personal favorites are "Harder to Breathe", "This Love", "Sunday Morning", "Must Get Out", "Makes Me Wonder", "Wake Up Call", and their recent "Won't Go Home Without You".


Maroon 5's debut album Songs About Jane has won several awards. Released in June 2002, the album enjoyed major chart success, going gold, platinum, and triple platinum in many countries around the world. In support of Songs About Jane, Maroon 5 toured extensively throughout 2003 – 2005, in which a live album was released, entitled Live - Friday the 13th. Original member Ryan Dusick left the band in September 2006, due to injuries sustained by the constant touring, and was replaced by Matt Flynn.


After a hiatus from the music scene, Maroon 5 released their second studio album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long in May 2007, five years after Songs About Jane. The second set debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of nearly half a million. The album has since gone on to become platinum with 1.6 million albums sold in the United States alone. The band performed in various performances throughout the summer and fall of 2007, including a North American tour with The Hives. They are currently touring with Dashboard Confessional in their world tour and, beginning March 28, 2008, they will tour with OneRepublic, Brandi Carlile, and Ry Cuming.
