Fresh Picks: Imagine Dragons

Addictive synth-rock and grungy vocals

You may not have heard of this Las Vegas quartet yet, but chances are you’ve heard at least one of their songs.  Their single out right now is called “It’s Time” but I prefer another of their songs called “Radioactive.”  If you watched the London Olympics just a few weeks ago on NBC you probably saw a commercial for a new TV show called Chicago Fire.  If you saw that commercial you heard Imagine Dragon’s song “Radioactive.”  I love the song because its got a great hard hitting rock feel to it while still staying modern and with the times.  Imagine Dragons are on the rise and I’m definitely a fan.  They have recently released an EP Continued Silence with Interscope Records and I believe a full album is in the works. Here’s my favorite song “Radioactive”

Here’s the music video for their more popular single “It’s Time.” Its got a really awesome beat and a cool little lick on the mandolin.
