Pandabear 414 Posted May 3, 2011 The Killers are an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada that was formed in 2001, by Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards) and Dave Keuning (guitar, backing vocals). Mark Stoermer (bass, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion) would complete the current line-up of the band in 2002.The group's debut album, Hot Fuss (2004) brought the band mainstream success. The Killers' second album, Sam's Town, was released in 2006, and compilation album Sawdust containing B-sides, rarities, and unreleased material, was released in 2007. Their third studio album, Day & Age, produced by Stuart Price, was released in 2008. In 2009 they released their first live album and DVD titled Live From The Royal Albert Hall. To date, the band has sold over six million albums in the United States, over five million albums in the United Kingdom and over 15 million worldwide. The Killers - Mr.Brightside gGdGFtwCNBE The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It l1p_NHFd8jM One of my favorite bands. Hot Fuss is the best IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furik 832 Posted May 3, 2011 Despite Brandon's solo record lacking, the band itself is good and am looking forward to their fourth album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted May 4, 2011 I could have sworn that they were British. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erin 19 Posted May 4, 2011 I could have sworn that they were British. My english teacher said the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandabear 414 Posted May 5, 2011 ^ That might have to do with the fact that they're music is influenced by British acts plus the fact that they were influenced by the NYC Post-Punk image scene like Interpol and The Bravery on their debut. I know they recently mentioned they're going to start the writing process of their 4th album in May, but they also mentioned they're going to take their time on it. They've been putting out albums every 2 years so I'm hoping there isn't this huge 5 year gap between Day and Age and thier next album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 1 Posted May 6, 2011 Have loved them since 'Somebody Told Me'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandabear 414 Posted May 9, 2011 Have loved them since 'Somebody Told Me'. Same. A friend of mine bought their album after hearing that song and let me borrow it. I ripped it, gave it back and fell in love with their music after my first listen. It was easily the best album I had heard all year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandabear 414 Posted November 15, 2011 The Killers have recorded four songs for their next album, tentatively titled Battle Born.Speaking to in the new issue of Q, Brandon Flowers explained that the Las Vegas band have been working in their hometown. "I think we want to get back to the music that is really us," the singer explained of the feel of the new material, adding that recording in Vegas was not only inspiring their music, but it was having an impact on their lyrics too. "I am writing about the world that I really know," he declared of the songs so far which currently includes a seven-and-a-half minute epic called The Slot Tech. Apparently they've been in the studio since October. I'm expecting a release sometime in the spring of next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandabear 414 Posted July 11, 2012 Official name for the new album is Battle Born and will be released sometime in the fall. This new song debuted yesterday. I thought it was okay at first listen, but it's really grown on me. It's like Day & Age with some Sam's Town. 2LOeImx0kW4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandabear 414 Posted September 17, 2012 Heard good reviews for the new album so far. It's been released in the UK today and it's all over the web. But I'm going to wait to get my copy tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandabear 414 Posted September 27, 2012 Okay, so anyone heard this yet? I'm really happy with this release. It was worth the wait. It's a good continuation from Day and Age and it still has those DA moments and others from Sam's Town, but there was also an expansion from those sounds and some pleasant surprises. There's more of synth presence, but it's well done and fits the music. Really love the guitar work too. Another strong release for the band.
