The Killers are an American rock band that was formed in 2001, by Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards) and Dave Keuning (guitar, backing vocals). Mark Stoermer (bass, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion) would complete the current line-up of the band in 2002. The group has released three studio albums, Hot Fuss (2004), Sam’s Town (2006) and Day & Age (2008) with a fourth titled Battle Born, set to be released in late 2012. They have also released one compilation album, Sawdust (2007) and one live album and DVD titled Live from the Royal Albert Hall (2009). To date, the band has sold over 6 million albums in the United States, over 5 million albums in the United Kingdom, and over 15 million worldwide.
Who doesn’t love The Killers? They definitely are one of the best bands out there. Every single of their songs is fun to listen to and I believe this is due to their pop but still rock-focused sound. Listening to them fills me with joy and energy, they make me feel more alive and they’re always able to cheer me up. Brandon Flowers’ voice combined with the indie-alternative-pop rock sound gives a perfect result. Dave Keuning does a great work with the guitar. A lot of simplicity, style, modernity and pure awesomeness!
Must-listen to songs : When You Were Young, Mr Brightside, For Reasons Unknown, Spaceman, Human, Read My Mind, Shadowplay(a great Joy Division cover)

Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind.
A blue eyed girl playing in the sand.
I've been on her trail for a little while,
But that was the night that she broke down,
And held my hand
.A teenage rush, she said,
“Ain't we all just runaways?
We got time, but that ain't much,
We can't wait till tomorrow.
You gotta know that this is real Baby,
why you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose.
”Oh
We got engaged on a Friday night,
I swore on the head of our unborn child,
That I could take care of the three of us
,But I got the tendency to slip,
When the nights get wild.
It's in my blood.
She said she might just runaway,
Somewhere else,
someplace good,
We can't wait till tomorrow.
You gotta know that this is real baby,
why you wanna fight it?
It's the one thing you can choose.
Let's take a chance,
baby we can't lose.
Ain’t we all just runaways?
I knew it when I met you
,I'm not gonna let you runaway
I knew it when I held you
I wasn't letting go.
We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams,
Hold each other till the morning light.
We used to laugh; now we only fight,
Baby are you lonesome now?
At night I come home after they go to sleep.
