These are The Killers, they will kill you.
There have been times in my life when I am scrolling through my itunes (okay, Limewire!) list thinking that I have nothing new to listen to. Times when music just isn’t moving me. These are sad times. But from the first time I heard this Las Vegas based band my heart jumped. It isn’t that I relate to The Killers, I don’t. I don’t even know what their lyrics mean. I don’t think they are the most talented band in the world, and no, I don’t think they are really that hot. But there is one thing The Killers never leave me longing for… solid riffs that make me sing and dance.
Lead singer Brandon Flowers has a unique voice that sounds sometimes like he just needs to cough and get the phlegm out. But that is also part of the appeal. This raw sense of raspy sexiness. I like sexy, sexy is great. So this is a nod to a great band. Listen and learn.

Being British, I’m proud to say I was in to the Killers long before most Americans caught up! They are an awesome band, although I think the 1st album was much better than the 2nd, which was a bit hit and miss.
