The Killers (Music To Hear)

After forming three years ago, The Killers heard it all from record label executives. Despite a strong following in their hometown, Las Vegas, the label know-it-alls felt lead singer Brandon Flowers didn't have a stage presence or wasn't a good enough front man. The band couldn't get a deal to save their souls. But like so many U.S. acts before them, a following was found in England. Lizard King, a small London-based indie label, signed the quartet 03 but their break came when Morrissey recruited the rock band to open for him.


After all of the pitches & try outs the band was picked up by Island/Def Jam Records & in June of 04, it released its debut album, "Hot Fuss", an album that can't be praised more. Hot on the heels of that long debuted album, we finally have their follow up title "Sam's Town". This album might not be the drop dead obvious AWESOME album that Hot Fuss was, but Sam's Town is a soundscape one has to drive through more than once to appreciate. Mixed reviews cloud the new album, but this one says rock isn't dead and old is new again like not many. So listen and remember when you were young.
