The Killers

I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don’t, you don’t
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand

It seeps through the pores of your skin… enters your ears and it escapes through your mouth and gains control of your hands and head. That’s how I would describe the songs from the rock band, The Killers. A bit exaggerated but that’s how I feel when I first heard of Mr. Brightside and now my current favorite All these things that I’ve done. Both songs are from their debut album Hot Fuss released last 2004. My love for the band was reawakened when Sam’s town, their new album was released last October. As a kid from the 80’s ,the bands new-wave synthtastic sound, reminiscent of New Order, The cure, The smiths and other great 80’s band, highly appeals to me. The band is not British, although vocalist Brandon Flowers sometimes sings with a faux British accent. The band is actually from Las Vegas, Nevada that’s probably why they have this Larger than Life feel.

Right:Their new look!It may look like another band, but yeah it’s still them.
