The main purpose of this blog is to share my undying infatuation with Maroon 5. So if you are not a fan, I can tell you right now this blog is not for you. Once in a while, I will get off my Maroon 5 bandwagon and introduce a song or artist that I believe ties into Maroon 5 one way or another. That could be a song that lead singer Adam Levine was featured in like "Locked Away" or a band that has the same kind of feel as Maroon 5 like Parachute. This way it adds some freshness to the blog, and will keep things interesting- or at least that is the plan. In order to appreciate music and sound, you must do so in all it's forms.
If you are a fan, but do not know a lot about the bands background, let me hit some key points. Starting out as a pop rock garage band in 1994, Maroon 5, previously Kara's Flowers, worked its way through the ranks until they became a household name in 2002. The rest is history. Band members include Adam Levine, lead singer, James Valentine, lead guitarist, Matt Flynn, drummer, Mickey Madden, bass guitarist, Jesse Carmichael, keyboard, guitar, and back up vocals, and newest member PJ Morton, keyboard and back up vocals. This group of guys has received many Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and Teen Choice Awards. Now if that doesn't speak for itself, I don't know what will. The band continues to put out songs that appear as number one's on the Billboard Top 100, their first being "Make's Me Wonder". It is quite obvious Maroon 5 has made its mark in the music industry and will continue to for years to come.
I really want to focus on the feel of the music. There is nothing like a catchy beat that plays in your head for weeks and you embrace it. Music acts as an escape from the day to day grind. For me, that escape is Maroon 5. For one reason or another, no matter how bad of a day I am having their songs just put me into this instant state of bliss and calamity. It makes me feel like even in my loneliest days I am never really alone because there is someone who went through the same thing as me and survived to tell the tale.
As an audience, my main goal is to create a space where you all feel comfortable communicating your thoughts as well as making recommendations that will make this blog the best it can be. I want this to be casual like two friends discussing music over coffee, or whatever your drink of choice is. That way together we can really delve into the meaning behind Maroon 5 - including their message, tone, sound, and brand. It's all about the music, not what is happening in the band member's personal lives, the greatest scandals, or any petty Hollywood gossip because all of this will deter from the pure appreciation of the great band - Maroon 5.
So Welcome to Maroon 5 Mania! Enjoy!
