"No, it's been really hectic - we've had to jump on the rollercoaster. Our new single Harder To Breathe has been going down really well in the UK, so we've come over here to spread the word. It was great to be selected by Virgin.net as a hot new band, we really appreciate the support. We have a huge following in America but the UK is new to us."

I think pain is the best feeling for song writing. You can write good happy songs, but I think the kind of bruiting, depressing ones are more effective. They are easier to write when I am impassioned and angry. It is a good way to channel that negative energy.

We’re all from L.A.; except James he is from Nebraska. He is Nebraska to the bone.

Umm…they are not all about Jane. Some are specifically about her. Some of them have her in mind. They are not all directly about her, but there might be a lyric or phrase that is there for her. The record should have been called “Most of These Songs are About Jane�.
Adam Levine

Yea it was. I think we went through the same thing everyone does. It’s like you don’t know what you are going to do with your life, even though you seem to be on a path. We put out a record and it didn’t do very well. So we got kind of discouraged and we didn’t know if we would stay together. There was a lot of indecision; but we knew we were a good band so we decided to stick it out.

"Oh no, don't reveal our secrets! We've now all agreed that we cannot talk about the band name, we get such a hard time and so many questions we have a policy of no comment! I am really, really sorry about the name!" (On the band's previous name Kara's Flowers"

"Oh yeah, we always make time to party. We've had a few wild nights. We went to the Barfly, Trash, lots of little local pubs as well to get some authentic London flavour. We've met some crazy people."
Mickey Madden

"Absolutely! You guys have great ladies, they are worth the trip alone! They know how to party and enjoy themselves. Everybody has been really nice to us and we will definitely be back in the UK soon. Our music seems to have gone down well here and we hope we can repeat our American success."
