## History

### 2002–2008: Formation, career beginnings, and *The Adventure of a Lifetime*

Neverland was formed in 2002 by brothers Matt and Kornelius Timölachland. Later on, bassist Astrida Sharinövuff, keyboardist Egor Georgölorel, and drummer Dan Niközoraff were all added to the group. Early in their career, they performed under the names "Voodoo Taboo", "Violetta Amore", and "Boring Retro Pop", before settling on the name "Neverland" in early-2003.

In late-2004, the band signed to Akai Music Group and moved to Ubenmoor to begin work on their debut studio album. They released their debut single "I Walk Alone" in 2005. The song was a massive success in Lashardia and abroad, reaching number-one in five countries. Their debut album *The Adventure of a Lifetime* was released the following year and was certified platinum in three countries. It also produced the hit singles "Wake Me Up", "Brother", and "Misery".

### 2008–2010: *Desperados*

The band revealed that they had begun work on their second studio album in 2008. The album's lead single "Believe" was released later in the year. The song was heavily inspired by funk and rhythm and blues music, rather than the pop punk of their debut album. However, the song was still successful, reaching number-one in Lashardia.

Their second studio album *Desperados* was released the following year. Along with its lead single, the album saw a departure from their pop punk styling in their previous album, instead taking inspiration from funk, rhythm and blues, dance-rock, disco, and alternative dance. The album was very successful, reaching number-one in four countries. It also produced the singles "I Don't Think So", "Broken Smile", "Six Heads High", and "Today".

### 2010–2013: *Lonely 80s Pop Music*

In 2010, the Timölachland brothers revealed that the band's third studio album was nearly complete, stating "We have a few songs left to record, and then it's just a matter of which songs will get a spot on the album". They released the album's lead single "One More Time" in 2011. The song largely incorporated reggae music and pop rock as opposed to their previous work, while it also reached the Top 3 of six countries' singles charts.

Their third studio album *Lonely 80s Pop Music* was later released the following year. The album largely incorporated ska, reggae, and pop rock music. It was certified gold in Lashardia. The album also produced the singles "Sangria", "Karma Queen", "Annie", and "Under the Ice".

### 2013–present: *What's In Store*

The band revealed in 2013 that work on a fourth album had begun, and that they were aiming for a 2015 release. In 2014, they released the album's lead single "In a Moment Like This". The song heavily incorporated synthpop and synthrock, and peaked at number-two on the Lashardian singles chart.

The album, titled *What's In Store*, was later released in summer 2015. Like its lead single, the album was heavily inspired by synthpop, synthrock, and dance-rock. While still a success, it did not achieve the levels of success the band's previous work did, peaking at number-three on the Lashardian albums chart. It produced the singles "Virus", "Sensuality", and "I Needed You".
