New Killers song

[SteelBlue]

Hot Fuss came out of nowhere and besides capturing all of the youngsters out there, its clearly 80's inspired sound grabbed a lot of us old guys too. I've liked everything I've heard since and am excited for the new album.

I whole heartedly concur. It is really rare for a band to have such a smash debut and then follow it up with a legitimately critically acclaimed second effort. Most bands hit the Sophomore slump and then fade out entirely (see The Strokes).

The Killers have a great formula and their music has a very broad appeal. Sam's Town showed a lot more depth...singles like "When You Were Young" have been re-arranged for the piano to provide for an alternative to the standard guitar pop.

Judging from tracks like Human and Spaceman, I think "Day and Age" is going to be another epic disc from them.

PS I dont count Sawdust since it is mostly just a b-side release, although still has good tracks.

There's a pretty good web site you should check out called Alternative Addiction. I've found a bunch of new bands that I never would have heard of otherwise. They feature bands that aren't rap, and aren't screaming metal. They have a bunch of free mp3's you can download and a podcast that's updated now and then. You'll find some really good stuff.

They also do interviews with bands. They posted one last week with Chris Martin, and he admits to being a Nickelback fan.

I really liked Sawdust.
