The song was "Jungle." Wow. Ok, let's keep listening. As the story goes, Reynolds heard the band's song "Unconsolable" on a Norfolk, Virginia radio station. Moved by the tune, he asked the Interscope to sign the band as soon as possible. Reynolds even co-wrote the song "Stranger" found on the band's major label debut EP, Love Songs Drug Songs.

But the New York-based four piece really started to break with the release of the anthemic thundering track called "Jungle." It was good: really good. Then, in 2015, everything changed. Already riding high on two successful tours with Imagine Dragons, the band would rise to a whole new level with their first full-length album boasting the breakout cross-format radio smash, "Renegades."

After all, "Renegades" was featured in a massive Jeep ad campaign, which gave the song an audience of millions; getting into people's ears is one thing, but getting into their hearts isn't quite so easy. But the song's (and perhaps, the band's) staying power was proven when it reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 Rock Songs, Rock Airplay, and Adult Top 40 charts.
