Maroon 5 Discography (Paperback)

The discography of Maroon 5, a Los Angeles-based pop-rock band, consists of two studio albums, four live albums, one compilation album, ten singles and twelve music videos. Maroon 5 originally formed in 1995 as Kara's Flowers while they were still attending high school. With a line-up of Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick, they signed to Reprise Records and released an album The Fourth World in 1997. After a tepid response to the album, the band parted with their record label and attended college. In 2001, the band regrouped and added James Valentine to the lineup, and pursued a new direction under the name Maroon 5. Maroon 5 signed with Octone Records and recorded Songs About Jane in 2002. In 2003, their debut single "Harder to Breathe" was well received by radio airplay, which helped propel the album into the top 20 of the Billboard 200.
