About The Killers

Official Site: http://thekillersmusic.com/ | @TheKillers | facebook.com/Thekillers


Few bands in the mid-2000s rose so quickly to the forefront of pop music as the Killers. The band's debut, Hot Fuss, became one of 2004's biggest releases, spawning four singles and catapulting the group -- particularly its dandyish, 22-year-old frontman, Brandon Flowers -- into the international spotlight. Hot Fuss reveled in the garish glitz of the band's native Las Vegas, spinning tales of androgynous girlfriends and illicit affairs. Their sophomore effort, Sam's Town, deemphasized the group's new wave sensibilities in favor of something more akin to the heartland rock of Bruce Springsteen and Rattle and Hum-era U2. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
