Ryan interviewed on 411mania
Ryan recently sat down with top pop site 411mania for a lengthy interview.
Ryan chats about his experiences with OneRepublic so far, comparisons with other acts, writing hit songs, taking the band's live set on the road, and the new direction of 'Waking Up'. Ryan also had a message for all the band's fans...
Just thank you so much for supporting us, supporting an album that's different and sticking with us. We did quite a departure from the first album, so we're really happy with the fans that stuck with us. We'd just ask that you spread the word. More than any amount of hits or albums, word of mouth is hands down the most important thing a band can have. So just keep talking!

OneRepublic cover Robbie's 'Millennium'
OneRepublic recently dropped in to record an exclusive acoustic set for the Sun's Biz Sessions, and as well as singing their massive hit 'Apologize' and new single 'All The Right Moves', they covered Robbie Williams' classic 'Millennium'.
Ryan commented that 'Millennium' was Robbie's biggest hit in the US, and speculated that that the reason he never made it big in the states is because he was "too good"!
Head over to The Sun's Biz Sessions now to check out OneRepublic's 'Millennium' cover, as well as stripped-down versions of 'Apologize' and 'All The Right Moves'.
Down the Front Acoustic Sessions live on MySpace
OneRepublic were psyched when asked to kick off the 2010 Down the Front Sessions over on MySpace recently!
They arrived complete with cello and xylophone to perform four acoustic tracks, two of which are now available to watch!
