Imagine Dragons Leave Meaning To Fan's Imagination

(Radio.com) Since exploding onto the music scene with hit songs "Radioactive" and the recently platinum-certified "It's Time," breakout Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons have quickly become one of rock's brightest new lights. Supporting their melodic and soul-stirring songs with a compelling live show, frontman Dan Reynolds and the rest of Imagine Dragons are poised to be one the biggest new bands of 2013.

While the music of Imagine Dragons is emotionally revealing, there is one small fact the band has chosen to keep to themselves: the true meaning behind their name. On more than one occasion, the guys have mentioned how the Imagine Dragons moniker is actually an anagram made from the letters of different words. They've also made a point of keeping those original words a band secret, which has lasted for the four years since they got together.

"We haven't even told our families," Reynolds said to Radio.com during an exclusive interview from Anchorage, Alaska, where the band was set to perform a sold-out show. "I don't know if they'd forgive us if we broke it right now. We'd have to have a big meeting with all of the guys to see if they wanted to do it."

"At this point, it's been built up so much that anything we say is going to be a letdown," added Wayne Sermon, the band's guitarist. "We might just leave it up to everyone's imaginations. They probably have better guesses than the real answer." more on this story
