In a world where any teenager with a webcam can become a rock star then a has-
been all in the space of a few months, Imagine Dragons are a refreshing return to
the tried-and-true traditions of great rock and roll. They’ve learned how to be a
band the old fashioned way, by writing great songs and playing them live to an
increasingly large audience. But their secret weapon is the one element we’ve
truly lost in this exhibitionistic post-internet music culture: mystery. “The name
of the band is an anagram,” Wayne says. “We had this phrase but it was something
we didn’t really want to call the band so we agreed to switch the letters around
and came up with Imagine Dragons. We haven’t even told our own mothers what
the phrase was. As an artist you put so much of yourself out there it’s fun to have
something you keep to yourself.”
