OneRepublic

OneRepublic was formed in 2004 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, by singer, pianist, and guitarist Ryan Tedder and lead guitarist Zach Filkins, OneRepublic quickly moved to Los Angeles. Adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist and cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher, OneRepublic signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label, but left the imprint for undisclosed reasons before releasing anything. Re-signing to Interscope through hip-hop superstar producer Timbaland's custom label Mosley Music Group (Tedder has worked as a song doctor on some of Timbaland's projects; he also co-wrote and produced a song on Hilary Duff's surprisingly fine 2007 album Dignity), OneRepublic finally made their public bow when their mentor remixed their Keane-like ballad "Apologize" for his spring 2007 album Timbaland Presents Shock Value; the band's original version was also released to radio and online as their first single.

OneRepublic has been the number one band on MySpace and has been in MySpace Music's Top Artists since summer 2006, with over 12 million total song plays and counting, and now in turn will be releasing their debut album at the fall of 2007.

The first single released was "Mercy". The second single off the album is "Apologize". It will be released in its original format, unlike the previous version on Timbaland's album, Shock Value.[1] On September 13, 2007 the video of "Apologize" was broadcasted on several internet sites.
