Song:Renegades
Album:VHS
Renegades was one of two top twenty hits from the X Ambassadors 2015 debut CD VHS. They have a new album coming out shortly. They were called Ambassadors when they were formed in 2009 in Ithaca, NY. Keyboard player Casey Harris was also lead singer. His brother Sam Harris took over lead vocals soon after. Other members were Noah Felsdshuh on guitar and Adam Levin on drums. They were called Ambassadors when they released a 2009 EP followed by a 2012 album. Imagine Dragons leader Dan Reynolds heard them on the radio and he got them a deal with Interscope. They released a couple of EPs and toured with Panic! at the Disco and Imagine Dragons. Their 2015 debut album VHS was produced by Alex Da Kid who has also produced Imagine Dragons. Renegades was the second single. It reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written for a Jeep Renegade commercial. There are several disabled athletes in the video. Casey Harris is blind. A second single Unsteady reached #20. The album was certified Platinum. X Ambassadors also appeared on the single Sucker For Pain from the film Suicide Squad. They have released a couple of singles from the upcoming album Joyful and they are going on tour. A release date has not been announced but it should be out soon. The question is can X Ambassadors distinguish themselves from similar bands like Imagine Dragons. This new album should tell us. Here's the video for Renegades by X Ambassadors.
