justice they deserve.
For Listeners of: Grouplove, Edward Sharpe & The
Magnetic Zeros
Essential Track: “Little Talks”
Where: Las
Vegas, Nevada
Why To Listen To: Great songwriting is bound to be noticed eventually. As proof that the
harder you work, the luckier you get, one of those
people who noticed was Grammy winning producer Alex da Kid (Eminem, Rihanna).
Alex and Dan began collaborating on projects, and soon the band had developed a
relationship with Alex and his team. The alchemy resulting from Alex’s hip hop
sensibilities and Imagine Dragons’ anthemic rock is nothing short of explosive.
The byproduct of this creative collision is “Continued Silence,” a six song in-your-face
sonic grenade that breaks musical boundaries and yet is strangely relatable by
its improbably diverse audience.

Essential Track: On Top of The World
