The Killers

 OH Musically, the band seems like a combination of several different styles; I could hear influences from The Beatles, The Killers, even a little U2 in places. Abandon plays a tight, accessible pop alternative rock that sounds as good as anything on the ...

The Killers third full length album Day & Age is a return to the wave-pop of Hot Fuss and a step away from the loftier ambitions of Sam's Town. Jeff Beck turns in a blistering live set of guitar mechanics on Performing This Week. ...

By Andy Peterson Even though the protagonists were from Vegas, not Vauxhall, Hot Fuss was undeniably a reverent indexing of the best of late-twentieth-century British pop music from Oasis to Duran Duran via Queen, New Order and Soft Cell.

By Marcelo Baeza Sequeira Arcade Fire sounds like the alternative bands of the nineties, but with the typical sound of the new bands that seem to all have the same producers.

Sinead O'Conner and Rodrigo y Gabri...

By Diesel Snow Patrol’s “Signal Fire” is a great song. Everything about it I like. The slow piano and guitar accompanied by the gentle signing slowly speeds up making for a great alt rock song. “Move Away” by The Killers did not move me too much but I enjoyed it for what it is worth. “Summer City” by Coconut R...
