Imagine Dragons Akkorde

The American pop rock band from Las Vegas was formed in 2008 and consists of lead singer Daniel “Dan” Reynolds, lead guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee and drummer Daniel Platzman.

Their hits “Radioactive” and “Demons”, which were both at number one in the charts, are part of their award-winning studio album Night Visions that was released in 2012.

Anagram

Have you ever wondered what the name “Imagine Dragons” actually stands for? We also don’t know for sure, but lead singer Reynolds disclosed that it’s an anagram made from the letters of different words. They purposefully keep the meaning to themselves, because as their lead singer once said, “It’s kind of nice to have one thing just between the four of us”.

Contributing to a good cause

The band actively contributes to many charitable causes. For example, they co-founded a charity called the Tyler Robinson Foundation, which supports young adults battling cancer. In 2014, the first gala to honor their foundation was held in Vegas. Imagine Dragons also managed to raise $100k by playing their chords at "Playing It Forward," a series of unannounced street performances by superstars, aimed at raising money for music education in public schools.

Breakthrough band

It’s difficult to put a specific label on Imagine Dragons’ chords and tunes, but they have frequently been described as falling under the umbrella of alternative rock, pop rock, indie rock, electronic rock, pop, arena rock and electro pop. Their tunes are also inspired by folk, R&B, hip-hop and EDM. This distinctiveness may be one of the reasons the band’s music is celebrated internationally. They have been awarded with many overwhelmingly good critiques and have won three American Music Awards, nine Billboard Music Awards, one Grammy Award, one MTV Video Music Award and one World Music Award. Also, the renowned American entertainment media brand Billboard has not only labeled them Breakthrough Band of 2013 and Biggest Band of 2017, but has also ranked them at the top of their Year in Rock rankings for three years, two of them consecutive.
