Imagine Dragons

¿Cómo eran antes de la fama?

Era el año 2008 y dos jóvenes Dan Reynolds y Andrew Tolman quienes eran amigos de la Universidad Brigham Young tomaron la decisión de crear su propia banda al descubrir que la música era su hobbie, por lo que fueron buscando conocidos que tuvieran habilidades musicales. Este primer grupo fue conformado por Dan y Andrew, Dave Lemke, Andrew Beck, Aurora Florence.

Leaning more toward Barrett in my design, with a dash of Bush and some Julie Andrews/Allison Tolman (both of whom have always remined me of Barrett a little bit).

The debuts could function the best in the form of an EP. I mean, you don't have a pressure of doing the whole album and you actually present yourself with your music. You don't even have to sound like yourself as we can hear in the case of Imagine Dragons' Speak To Me. The latter remains controversial among the group's fans, because one can't be sure, if we can claim this is the work of the famous band. Sure, Mr. Reynolds is there, but the others aren't and the group does, hm, something that could only be understood as a Broadway rock. Nonetheless, I wouldn't call this disc out of step with the collective, I would consider this to be an early attempt at their own sound, since you can find the traces of Imagine Dragons' consequent anthems, yet they service a different types of tunes.
