Imagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons are an American alternative rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada that gained exposure after the release of their debut studio album, Night Visions, in September 2012. Since then, they have gone on a world tour, and gained exposure on major late night shows like Jimmy Kimmel and Jay Leno. Billboard magazine listed them as one of "2012's Brightest New Stars", and Rolling Stone magazine called their single "Radioactive" "the biggest rock hit of the year."
The band got its start in 2008 when lead singer Dan Reynolds met guitarist Wayne "Wing" Sermon in Utah. Reynolds was attending school and Sermon had recently returned to his hometown of American Fork, Utah from the Berklee School of Music. Soon after the partnership of Reynolds and Sermon, Sermon recruited another Berklee music student, Ben McKee, to join the band. After going through various lineups, the band added Andrew Tolman and Brittany Tolman. The members relocated to Las Vegas, the hometown of Dan Reynolds, where the band recorded and released their first three EPs.

The band released two EPs titled Imagine Dragons EP and Hell and Silence EP in 2010, both recorded at Battle Born Studios, in Las Vegas, NV. They returned to the studio in 2011. Another EP, It's Time, was made before they signed a record deal.

They caught their first big break when Train's frontman fell sick just prior to the Bite of Las Vegas Festival 2010. Imagine Dragons were called to fill in and performed to a crowd of more than 26,000 people. Local accolades including "Best CD of 2011" (Las Vegas SEVEN Magazine), "Best Local Indie Band 2010" (Las Vegas Weekly), "Las Vegas' Newest Must See Live Act" (Las Vegas CityLife), Vegas Music Summit Headliner 2010, and more sent the band on a positive trajectory. In November 2011 they signed with Interscope Records and began working with GRAMMY award winning producer Alex da Kid.
