He was asked to follow the band for three months, to become a fly on the wall and figure out what the common thread was between the guys since they couldn't for the life of them figure it out themselves.

Frontman Ryan Tedder admitted to Radio.com that looking at the band, you wouldn't think they'd have much in common, but somehow they connect on a musical level. And they're going to keep looking that way, since no matter how hard they try, they just won't wear matching outfits.

"We've tried the whole dressing like a band thing, looking more homogenous like Coldplay or The Hives," he said. "The whole uniformed thing that a bunch of different bands have taken on looks absurd and feels awkward."
