Originally founded in 2002 in Gainesville, Florida, as a Piano/Acoustic collaborative effort between two college dorm-mates, Tim Hazen and Collin Whitlock. The two quickly decided to recruit a percussionist, Jake McMullen, and eventually a bassist, Steve Lincoln, to fill out their sound. Maxwell Edison quickly became a force to reckon with in the vibrant Gainesville music scene, packing big crowds at the main clubs in the city. With sounds ranging from soft slow ballads to hard driving rock, there was always something for everyone. The band released their one and only full length, self entitled album in the Fall of 2004. The album was heralded by local press as one of the best albums of that year. In 2005, life commitments caused the group to go their own ways in music, though their friendships and memories endure the test of time. Read more on Last.fm.
