Lead singer Brandon Flowers asked the crowd after a few songs. The band played an 18-song set. The Joint has a new sound system, which sounded better than its old sound system, as well. The Killers performed "When You Were Young" for its final song, ...

It's a fairly nifty balancing act, one that The Killers increasingly seem to have down cold. Like their hometown, The Killers are populist and elitist in the very same breath, and the masses love them for it. And for their part, The Killers earned their adoration.

Five years after the band's conception, Flowers, along with guitarist Dave Keuning, bassist Mark Stoermer, and percussionist Ronnie Vannucci Jr., have withstood the test of time, scandal, harsh critics and the dreaded sophomore jinx to achieve bonafide ...

Flowers is so enigmatic his band mates - smiley drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr, emotionless guitarist Dave Keuning and badly suited bassist Mark Stoermer - almost seemed to fade into the background. Thankfully, he has the voice to match his magnetic stage ...

By Maura Johnston I know a few people who are trying to start a "Sam's Town wasn't that bad" movement. I dunno, though. This song is actually pretty good, and "Read My Mind" has aged quite well over the past three years—but when you get to "The River Is Wild," the whole theory falls apart a bit.

 United Kingdom The Killers still can't decide whether they want to be the Pet Shop Boys or U2, so veer awkwardly between both. At times recently it's felt like it was all part of an elaborate plan to prepare the ground for Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's glorious ...

 UK And even the quietest moment, a stripped down version of Sam's Town was a gem. But frontman Brandon Flowers was soon turning it back up to fever pitch with a dizzying selection of songs from the first two albums – Hot Fuss and Sam's Town. ...

 United Kingdom The show had started with an opening set from fellow Brits under-achievers the Killers. With their mix of disco, glam and Eighties rock, they're like a freak amalgam of the Cars and the Scissor Sisters, not least when Brandon Flowers is prancing about ...

By meredith As the follow up to two stellar albums, it is easy to see why Day & Age sold so quickly in the UK. At the same time, with such high expectations set by those earlier albums (though it should be said that Hot Fuss was too obsessed with '80s synth rock, and Sam's Town got a little ridiculous with...

By Barry Walters “When You Were Young” Photo: Miller/Getty From the Springsteen-like bluster of 2006’s Sam’s Town to the fist-pumping restlessness of leader Brandon Flowers, the Killers exude arena-rock excess like no other post-punk revivalists.

This is The Killers third official albums release (Sawdust is not considered an official full length album, it's a b-side collection). I was never a huge fan of their previous released Hot Fuss and Sam's Town, as a matter of fact they both bored me. They had amazing lead singles (Mr. Brightsid...

By Matt Kiser It takes a special kind of unselfconsciousness to come up with the phrase "I got soul but I'm not a soldier," as Flowers did on Hot Fuss' "All These Things That I've Done."

The Killers will begin a North American trek in support of the CD on January 17th, 2009 in Denver, Colorado. The quartet will also issue a Christmas single this holiday season, called “Joseph, Better You Than Me,” which is a collaboration with Elton John. November 24, 2008 The Killers release their third studio album today (November 24th), titled Day And Age. The disc follows up the Las Vegas-based act’s 2006 sophomore set, Sam’s Town, which got some criticism for veering away from the dance-rock sounds of the group’s 2004 debut, Hot Fuss. The sound has changed again on the [...]   [read the full post]
