OneRepub rock

○○○●●

DESPITE the name, OneRepublic are no revolutionaries - just a pop rock band cast in the mould of The Script.
The group are a studio-polished U2-a-like, whose new album Waking Up is slicker than an eel in oil.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the group shot to stardom this year with their expertly crafted tracks that on paper is hard to knock - the epic two track opening of Made For You and All The Right Moves, the awesome acoustic guitar lick of Everybody Loves Me, the orchestral close to title track Waking Up...
The problem is that the group have been airbrushed to nothingness - and unfortunately I like my rock music warts and all.
