I had no idea hellogoodbye released their latest album, Everything Is Debatable, last October.

I love Imagine Dragons–I always hear them on 95.5 WBRU, which is where I discovered their music first. Their latest hit, “Demons,” is awesome. Sure, it’s not the most upbeat song playing on the radio this summer, but I’ll add this to my playlist on replay.
