Artist Spotlight: Imagine Dragons

Okay so for the last few weeks or so I've been listening to Imagine Dragon's debut album Night Visions repeatedly. It's just really good in my opinion. I honestly can't think of one song that I don't like. One of my favorite things about it is that each song has it 's own particular sound that you wouldn't think would flow together seamlessly in an album setting but it just does. Prime example in highlighting the differences in tone when comparing two of the songs on the album would be the Radioactive and On Top of The World. But it works. At least in my opinion.

My first introduction to the group was hearing their song It's Time covered by Glee's Darren Criss in the show. Liking the song I had to hear the original and just loved it. Loving their sound I bought the album right away. Currently my favorites are Nothing Left To Say/Rocks (Medley) and My Fault. Although honestly, all their songs are great. There really isn't one that I would even pick as a least favorite. For me it's pretty rare for that to happen. Even for my absolute favorite artists there is at least one song I don't care for. So saying I love every single track is kinda odd for me to say.

I don't really know much about the band except that they are from Las Vegas and got their big break when performing in a large music festival in Vegas. Also they had two members who had left the group leaving us with the lineup they currently have now. Their current member lineup is as follows:

Dan Reynolds - Vocals, Percussion
Ben McKee - Bass, Backing Vocal
Wayne "Wing" Sermon - Guitar, Cello, Backing Vocals
Dan Platzman - Drums, Viola, Backing Vocals

I've found that they have previously released a few EPs before their debut album that I do intend on looking up when I get the chance.  Hopefully I'll get to see them perform live as well. I hear they will be performing at Summerfest so I'm hoping to catch the show.

I'm just really loving their music and look forward to hearing a lot more from them.

Until next time!
