OneRepublic doesn't do anything in half-measures. The Colorado-bred band gives everything they do an epic quality, whether it's a rocker or a ballad. And the amount of passion they pack into their tunes emerges in the form of multi-platinum singles plastered all over the radio. What started in a small-scale, organic way, with high-school friends playing Colorado coffeehouses, turned into a world-conquering band willing to wear their wide array of influences (folk, pop, dance, rock) proudly as they pummeled the charts with hits.
