Hey guys. Today's song is Warriors by Imagine Dragons.

These guys are a pop rock group active since 2008 and currently made up of Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee, and Daniel Platzman. I always wondered about the band name and it's apparently an anagram for a phrase known only by the band members. There was a lot of member shuffling before they released two EPs in 2010, followed quickly by another in 2011. They were signed the same year, then lucked out by replacing a band who couldn't perform for a huge audience boosting their fan base by a large margin. Then they kind of blew up. Their debut came out in 2012 and obviously got them international fame. They toured for awhile, then released a live album in 2013, followed by more touring while working on another album. That one was released in 2015, then a tour followed before the band took a hiatus in 2016. It lasted less than a year before the band was hyping their fans up for new stuff. Since then they've released four albums, one in 2017 and another in 2018. Those were followed by the two-parter album with part one released in 2021 and part two released this year, so you can go listen to their new stuff if you're interested.

Peace.
