40 Sec of 'When You Were Young' (http://www4.islanddefjam.com/media/killers/audio/01%20When%20You%20Were%20Young%20(snippet).mp3)

Single comes out in September

Album in October.

What d'you guys think?

After about the 5th or 6th listen through, I liked it. It's a different sound. Brandon's voice sounds more like it does live, there's not as much electronic effects. To me it feels "bigger" and more "epic" - def an amazing sound in a arena, which is where they're headed unfortunately (Small shows are funn).

Hmm, I've been waiting for their new album for ages, but I'm not sure at the moment after listening to that clip a couple of times. It is a little bit Keane-ish, I prefer their 80s style and hope those influences come through on this album.

I heard of them a long time ago, but I don't care for their music at all.

The song leaked on KROQ in LA last night. They played it alottt

It's leaking now everywhere, Radio 1 in the UK played in twice in a row. Listeners reactions are overwhelmingly positive.

If your interested to hear it, and you have real player go here:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/networks/radio1/aod.shtml?radio1/whiley_thu

Fast forward to 1 hour, 15 minutes in. They play it twice.

I made a rip of it if anyone's interested.

Woooooot.

I don't mind the killers, I'll listen to the album occasionally and a few of their songs have snuck onto some playlist.

But their over rated and cocky as hell. They seem to think they are the most original band ever, when really Duran Duran has been around for a good 25 years now.

There's nothing wrong with playing derivative rock if you do it well, which I think they do. But don't act like you've re-invented the wheel.
