OneRepublic considers its music to be influenced by everyone from the Beatles to U2, and anything in between. "We're no respector of genre," says frontman Ryan Tedder, "If it's a good song or a good artist whether rock, pop, indie or hip hop, they've probably influenced us on some level...nothing's new under the sun, we're a sum of a bunch of parts." They aspire to move their listeners the way Bono does onstage. "You go to a U2 concert and it's like church," Tedder says. "I'd love to make people feel like that. I don't want someone to just say, `Oh, nice voice, nice song.' I want that person to walk away and feel like he or she has had a religious experience; we want them to feel moved." The band was formed in Colorado by Tedder and high school classmate Zach Filkins. The pair moved to Los Angeles, where they picked up fellow Coloradan, guitarist/keyboardist Drew Brown and drummer Eddie Fisher. The band's most recent inductee, Brent Kutzle, plays bass and adds something extra to live shows with his classical cello. In addition to his work with his own band, Tedder is a Grammy nominated writer & has written & produced tracks with/for various other artists, including Natasha Bedingfield, Jennifer Lopez, Lil' Jon, Paul Oakenfold, t.A.T.u., Bubba Sparxxx, Tupac and uber-producer Timbaland. A remix of OneRepublic's song "Apologize" is featured on Timbaland's album, Shock Value. The song "Apologize" explores the personal pain of multiple relationships gone awry and the necessity of moving on, while "Stop and Stare" describes the common frustration of getting to a place in life where you think, "How in the world did I end up here, this isn't where I wanted to be, watching what I wanted pass me by." "The lyrics have shades of melancholy, and there is a definite emotional undercurrent running through them," says the band. "If you can't tap into emotion, you're just selling catchy tunes."

Customer Rating:
Summary: Every Breath He Takes
Comment: When I first heard the song "Apologize" I was watching the video on VH1. This might sound a bit crazy, but while I was listening to Ryan Tedder's beautiful and highly expressive voice, I also noticed that he had the most perfect teeth. (don't you all laugh at me.) "Apologize" is a wonderful song, but there are a few other songs on the CD that I enjoy more: "Say (All I Need), "Stop and Stare," "All Fall Down," and "Come Home." Actually, I think the entire CD is well worth the listen, and I have listened to it many many times. A few of the songs remind me of Coldplay, but the difference is that I think Tedder has a better voice than Chris Martin. I would suggest that anyone that likes bands like, Coldplay, Travis, Keane, and even R.E.M., will probably find great pleasure in listening to One Republic and their debut CD "Dreaming Out Loud." Buy it.

Summary: One of the best new bands in a while
Comment: OneRepublic made waves with their hit single "Apologize" as a remix produced by Timbaland. Some could argue that if it wasn't for Timbaland remixing the song, they wouldn't be popular. Even if that's so, their debut album "Dreaming Out Loud" Is a great listen from beginning to finish. The best songs are clearly the hits "Apologize" and "Stop And Stare." Every song is good and well-written. They're a very likeable band that has fans of all ages and backgrounds. If you liked the hit singles from this album you'll like the rest like me. I highly reccomend this album, one of 2007's best!
