9 New Bands You Need To Check Out Right Now

Stay ahead of the curve this summer with these hot new artists.

1. Maroon 5

Maroon 5 is an American pop rock-band that has just emerged on the scene in Los Angeles, California. The 5 originally started off as 4, who met goofing around together on a couple of instruments in high school. Adam Levine (lead vocals, lead guitar), Jesse Carmichael (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Mickey Madden (bass guitar) and Ryan Dusick (drums), then picked up Sam Farrar (red sweater connoisseur) after they accidentally kidnapped him from a loving couple while shopping at Gap.

2. Maroon 5

Maroon 5 is an American pop-rock band that makes a lot of "bang bang" sounds. Their debut album, Songs About Jane, is already beginning to make some minor waves in the music industry, but not enough to tell if they'll survive on their own. Help them out! Pick up a copy at your local Blockbuster.

3. Maroon 5

Via !

Maroon 5 is an American pop rock-band that specializes in banging on the keys, and they're quirky! Here they are holding some weird medieval dagger thing. You know, word on the street is that big, cylinder triangle is actually included in some of their latest EP releases. I even heard it harbors the souls of every girl infatuated with their newest single "This Love." Ha ha, watch out, ladies!

4. Maroon 5

Maroon 5 is an American rock-pop band that rocks my pops off. Not only do they go "beep boop ker-powie" on the guitar, they're also dumpster divers! Here they are pictured after a successful night scurrying around in the garbage outside their back porch. Who knows besides these 5 beautiful men what those shiny objects they're holding could be! Maybe they're a toothbrush, a lint roller, a garden hose? Honestly, could be anything.

5. Mmmmmmm, Maroon 5

Afraid to bring these American pop-rock gods back to your parents house after their wild success on the road? Don't be! These are men of PRAYER. They will blaze through your Thanksgiving with the loaf of the lord, impressing the religious heads of your house. It's actually rumored that Mickey Madden, (bass guitarist), consumes 5 gallons of candle wax every day in hopes the virgin Mary sees his vigil from the heavens and grants him immortality.

6. Ding-Dong, It Me, Maroon 5

American pop-rock band Maroon 5 is on the up swing and is a MUST listen for any occasion. Just married? Recently divorced? Whatever the occasion, you and your loved one will not be able to contain yourself when "She Will Be Loved" hits your ear holes.

7. Maroon 5?

Okay, so apparently American pop-rock band Maroon 5 got a new band member during the process of writing this article and dropped the up-and-coming-actor Thomas Hiddleston look alike. Oh my gosh! Thomas Hiddleston! Wow, that's another person you should familiarize yourself with if you don't already know. DEFINITELY going to be famous, someday!

8. Maroon.... 6?

Hmmm. Things are starting to get suspicious. It appears right after Maroon 5 added keyboardist PJ Morton, they re-added Thomas Hiddleston look alike. Hmm.. Well, you know what they say, I guess that's just how the world of music works! Fast paced, fast girls, fast track to fame.

9. Maroon... 5...

Huh.. My mom just came downstairs and told me that Maroon 5 is actually an incredibly well known American pop-rock band and that I should abandon my passion project. Apparently a lot has happened while I was in a self-induced coma for fear of Y2K. Hmm.. I'm not entirely convinced they're famous. I'll give my mom my notes to post online and have her find out herself because, if we're being a bit honest, I'm still a little afraid of the internet.
