There's something about West Coast-bred bands that stimulates my senses. Whether Seattle, L.A. or (the home of my newest favorite band) Las Vegas, the warm weather cultivates musical greatness from its emotional roots. Imagine Dragons is hardly an exception. Born in Utah, the band relocated to Las Vegas, clearly a smart move based on its impending sucesses. Several battle-of-the-band wins and a "Most Requested Band of 2010" title later, Imagine Dragons signed with Interscope Records only a few months ago and has since released its EP entitled Continued Silence, gaining notoriety, however, for its previously, independently released EP It's Time.
Imagine Dragons' credentials include their music featured on MTV's "Real World: Las Vegas" and "Real World: San Diego," CBS's "Around the World for Free," TeenNick's "Degrassi" and "American Idol" commercials. They've played many music festivals alongside such notable acts as The Temper Trap, Interpol, Weezer, Neon Trees, Kelly Clarkson and Foster the People (to name a few).
My favorites include "America," "Tokyo," "Leave Me" and, of course, "It's Time." Check out the title track's video below as well as the band's official site, http://www.imaginedragonsmusic.com/
Hello world! I'm the Music Chik. This blog is all about music - new or old, pop or rock - it is about music from different periods and different genres. It's about music I appreciate and feel the need to pass on. It's about music that evokes something within me and, hopefully, stirs something up inside you. It's music I think you should hear and, more importantly, feel. While I rarely say this, I don't want this to just be about me. I encourage and appreciate all music suggestions and recommendations because, after all, it's all about the music.
