With a melodramatic edge about them, these guys from the States, known as The Killers, have made a name for themselves in today’s pop scene. The essence of their instantly catchy songs lies in the dynamic tension created between Brandon Flowers’ compelling voice and the stellar musicianship of Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer and Ronnie Vannucci Jr.

As such, the contents of albums like “Hot Fuss” (2004), “Sam’s Town” (2006) and their recent “Day and Age” (2008), produced by the indomitable Stuart Price, swing between a kind of epic pop-rock and thrillingly familiar choruses that have secured this Las Vegas band a place of honour on the cutting edge of music today.
