Maroon 5 Details Summer 2010 Tour, Album Plans
Maroon 5 has set a Sept. 21 release for its third album, "Hands All Over," and will preview some of the new tracks during a month-long summer tour that kicks off July 30 in Saratoga, N.Y.
 Frontman Adam Levine tells Billboard.com that "Hands All Over" "kind of hearkens back to the spirit behind the first record (2002's quadruple platinum 'Songs About Jane') and is less like the second one (2007's double platinum 'It Won't Be Soon Before Long') -- or is a combination of both, the best elements of both all in one." The key ingredient, he says, was working with producer Mutt Lange (Def Leppard, AC/DC, Shania Twain, Nickelback), who reached out to Levine and company after he heard they'd started writing songs for their next album.
"I like to say he descended from the sky in a cloud of smoke and said, 'I want to produce this record,' 'cause that's kind of what happened," explains Levine, who credits the Lange-produced Def Leppard albums as some of his earliest musical inspirations. "He keeps to himself and doesn't necessarily come out of the woodwork unless he really wants to work on something. And he's an amazing guy. He thinks huge; he wants to reach everybody in every country. He doesn't want to dumb things down, but he wants to make things understandable and accessible.
"And we don't think about things like that. I just think about how I'm feeling at any particular moment or what I want to express musically. So I think he took this music and really magnified it bigger than it ever could have been before."
Levine says fans will hear that particularly in the title track, which the singer says is one of the hardest rocking tracks Maroon 5 has ever recorded. "Misery" is "the most Maroon 5-sounding song on the album," according to Levine, but other departures include the country-flavored "Out of Goodbyes," which features a guest appearance by Lady Antebellum, and the '60s pop-flavored "Stutter," which Levine says is "not like anything you've heard from us before."
 Maroon 5 spent nearly five months off and on working with Lange in Switzerland, though the group had the bulk of the songwriting -- which it began during the tour for "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" -- done by the time it began recording. "It was a really long process," Levine says. "Some people can go in and bang out a record in a month, and that's a totally valid process. But for some reason I want to make sure no stone goes unturned and every single possible idea is brought to the foreground. That's just how we like to do things."
The final track list for "Hands All Over" is still being determined, but Levine says fans can expect to hear a generous sampling of the new songs during the tour, with Owl City, VV Brown, Guster, Kris Allen and Ryan Cumming slated as opening acts.
"We're going to pick a nice handful to plug into the set," says Levine, who will join Slash on Monday's "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" perform "Gotten," their collaboration from the guitarist's new solo album. "People are waiting for it, and it'll be really nice to have new material to play, 'cause God knows we're sick of playing the old stuff -- and it's going to revive the old stuff even more. We're just getting back to he roots of what we are, which is just a band. Somewhere along the line we turned into a very successful band, but we're definitely all about the idea now that we just like to go play music, so we're going to do that as much as possible, all over the place." source

Maroon 5 Biography (Short bio on Maroon 5)
A mix of polished pop/rock and neo-soul sex appeal made Maroon 5 one of the most popular bands of the 2000s, with such radio-ready songs as "This Love," "She Will Be Loved," and "Makes Me Wonder" all topping the charts worldwide . Previously, bandmates Adam Levine (vocals/guitar), Jesse Carmichael (keyboards), Mickey Madden (bass), and Ryan Dusick (drums) had spent the latter half of the '90s  playing in the modern rock outfit Kara's Flowers, releasing their debut album for Reprise Records while still attending high school. The record tanked, however, and Kara's Flowers found themselves dropped from the Reprise roster. After briefly attending college, the bandmates regrouped as Maroon 5, added former Square guitarist James Valentine to the lineup, and embraced a more R&B-influenced sound. Several years later, the quintet had officially risen to the forefront of popular music with the multi-platinum releases of Songs About Jane and It Won't Be Soon Before Long.
Songs About Jane propelled the band into the mainstream, but the album was not an immediate hit. Octone Records had signed the newly christened Maroon 5 in 2001, and the debut album Jane received a lukewarm response upon its in June 2002. "Harder to Breathe" became a radio staple 17 months later and was soon followed by the omnipresent "This Love," whose steamy video (featuring frontman Levine and a barely clothed girlfriend) effectively wooed the TV-watching crowds at MTV. Songs About Jane finally entered the Billboard Top Ten in August 2004, more than two years after the album's release, and subsequent singles like "She Will Be Loved" and "Sunday Morning" helped the album move over 2.7 million copies by year's end.
 Maroon 5 toured exhaustively in support of Jane's slow-developing success, issuing two stopgap recordings -- 2004's 1.22.03.Acoustic and 2005's Live Friday the 13th -- while canvassing the world alongside the Rolling Stones and John Mayer. Their schedule was especially trying on percussionist Dusick, who sustained wrist and shoulder injuries and was often unable to play. By fall 2006, Dusick had been officially replaced by Matt Flynn (the former drummer for Gavin DeGraw), and the revised band released its sophomore effort in May 2007. It Won't Be Soon Before Long proved to be less popular than its predecessor (which had sold more than four million copies in the U.S. alone), but it still enjoyed double-platinum certification while spinning off the chart-topping single "Makes Me Wonder." Maroon 5 had cemented their status as pop/rock heavyweights, and they now had the powerful connections to prove it. Released in late 2008, Call and Response: The Remix Album reinterpreted the band's catalog with remixes by such influential figures as Mary J. Blige, Mark Ronson, and Pharrell Williams. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide .... read more Maroon 5 biography
