Maroon 5 are one of the biggest bands in pop-rock today, selling over 8 million copies of their first single 'Moves Like Jagger' alone. The band received a Grammy Award in 2005 for Best New Artist, as well as further awards in 2006 and 2008. The majority of their most popular songs are about love, giving the band a distinct 'pop-rock ballad' sound best noticed in hits like 'She Will Be Loved' and 'This Love'.

Owl City is a one-man-band by My Space sensation Adam Young, who gained a following on the social network before being signed up by the international record label, Universal Republic. The single 'Fireflies' went quadruple-platinum, an amazing feat for any band let alone a solo artist who began his rise to fame from his parent's basement in Minnesota!

Neon Trees is an edgy pop-rock band with several high-profile tours and singles to their name. The band formed in 2005 and released their first album five years later in 2010, after a national tour with The Killers helped them gain a devoted fanbase.
