Killers Execute Their Formula Well

in
By Jared Morano (CHARTattack) September 9, 2009 9:39 am
There comes a point in a touring band's career where they've played so many shows for so many years with such a big budget that there's no way they're not going to be entertaining, whether you like the songs or not. The Killers reached that point a couple years after Hot Fuss. They're so popular and well known among so many demographics that...

The Killers — Day & Age

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) December 3, 2008 4:25 pm
I strongly disliked The Killers' Hot Fuss and Sam's Town and thought I'd feel similarly about Day & Age. But I didn't. See, The Killers' music is a bit like frontman Brandon Flowers' fashion sense: it's all over the place, ridiculously flamboyant and usually comes across as unintentionally comedic. On Day & Age, The Killers are still stuck...

Killers Go Huey Lewis

I last saw The Killers in the summer of '05 when they opened for U2 in front of 65,000 rabid fans in the U.K. They were on the cusp of super rock stardom after their fantastic post-punk synth-pop debut Hot Fuss, but it was clear they wanted to move past that sound and unto something bigger. A year later, The Killers decided they wanted to be...

The Killers' lead singer and songwriter Brandon Flowers' grandiose and often egotistical proclamations make his band an easy target of derision and, frankly, so did their last record, 2006's Sam's Town. Sawdust, a B-sides and rarities collection, handily sheds most of the last album's baggage. Forget that a compilation like this seems a bit...

The Killers Mostly Painting By Numbers

By Nicole Kai (CHARTattack) May 10, 2007 4:30 pm
Two albums into their career, The Killers have amassed enough anthemic synth-rock singles to pack the Air Canada Centre quite literally to the rafters. Trying to infuse some of their Las Vegas kitsch into Toronto, the band blasted off their Monday night cabaret with dramatic imagery and glitzy confetti. The action was set appropriately to Sam's...

The Killers Bring Audience To Tears

Someone was making an, ahem, killing off of The Killers on Friday night. As the lineup to their Toronto show hugged the block around the Kool Haus complex, word from the scalpers was a ticket to the sold-out show was going for $400. For the desperate fans shelling out scads of cash they'd probably earmarked for their next lost weekend in Whitby,...

In true Vegas fashion, The Killers have annulled their brief marriage to British new wave with the bombastic Born To Rerun single "When You Were Young." They've also packed their second album with stars-and-stripes symbolism, including open roads, uncles named Jonny and even brothers born on the fourth of July. And as if it wasn'...

The Killers — Hot Fuss

By Amanda Factor (CHARTattack) June 15, 2004 4:22 pm
The Killers release their aptly-named debut Hot Fuss amid a whirlwind of buzz and frothing reviews. And deservedly so. They milk influences like Duran Duran, Psychedelic Furs and last year’s it band, Interpol, to pleasing effect. With tracks like "Somebody Told Me," The Killers effectively tap into the current wave of rock that manages...
