U2:
Bono formed his band U2 at the age of 16, in response to an ad on his school’s bulletin board. Joining him in responding to the ad were David Evans (The Edge), and brothers Dik and Adam Clayton. Beginning under the name Feedback, the band played Rolling Stones and Beach Boys cover songs during their initial jam sessions. Having realized their covers were not working, they began to write their own songs.
Bono started singing, playing guitar, and writing the band’s songs. Feedback changed their name to U2 (by way of The Hype) in 1977. U2 signed with Island Records in 1980.
Their first singles and albums failed to chart, and the band even talked of breaking up due to their lack of success.
