Maroon 5 is an amazing band whose music goes across genres and can be largely defined as pop music with infusions of rock as well as the pathos of the blues. Hearing their music through records is one thing however watching them live can be an experience of a lifetime.

Maroon 5 was formed by a team of friends who have been together since middle school and this comfort and familiarity is a hallmark of their music. The band started out with being called “Kara’s Flowers” and have done numerous shows in LA at venues like ‘The Whiskey’. Following their success while performing live shows this band released their own album in 1997 titled ‘The Fourth World’. After this they also went on tours with popular bands like Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish. Till this time the band was associated with Reprise Records and all their albums were released under this label. However, in 1999 this association came to an end and resulted in the band undergoing a makeover in both style and name. Looking for a new platform and avenue to launch themselves, this band renamed themselves as Maroon 5.
