Haha, I actually like the snippet.

it was only a matter of time

Not surprised at all. Band is taking a break so this was expected. Hopefully this will allow him to get all of his poppier stuff out of his system so the next Killers album can go back to their roots like Hot Fuss.

Ummmm....Hot Fuss wasn't poppy?

lol this

ps if that picture of Brandon Flowers isn't the most hipsterific thing I've seen all week I don't know what is

no Hot Fuss was noise rock

He looks like a tool in that photo.

Was reading the other day that while The Killers are on hiatus, the drummer has joined a supergroup of sorts. It was predominantly British musicians, but I can't for the life of me remember who right now.

It's a couple of the guys from Keane. Pretty lousy "supergroup" tbh

mehhh hot fuss may not be the greatest piece of art ever or whatever but there's nothing really wrong with it

I like Hot Fuss, so I'll check this out. Although the bit on his website sounds like it was taken from an Owl City song.

are we human?

Or are we dancer?

"You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year"



they get props for turning that into a catchy summer anthem

Hot Fuss was noise rock? Are you crazy?

It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss...

i remember lolwutting those lyrics. great summer.

(Haters gonna hate)

I've always been a very large Killers fan. Hot Fuss was the only album I had for like 2 years when I was a kid. Every album has held me over well since. They're just the band I can't let go of now matter what. Everyone has that band.

So excited for this.
Also, if you guys didn't know, Vitamin String Quartet covered Hot Fuss, and it's definitely worth a nostalgia listen if you liked that album.

"Hot Fuss" was their only album I've ever listened and enjoyed. Everything after that was just variations on a theme. Theme being "Hot Fuss". I really got bored by everything they made since that.
Even though I'm not surprised with him making a solo album, I'll probably give it a try. Just for the sake of it.

HE DOESN'T LOOK A THING LIKE JESUS

But he, talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined, when you were Yooooouuuungggg.

Hot Fuss was noise rock? Are you crazy?

...

good band all around, psyched for this. i do enjoy a good solo album.

Say what you want, When You Were Young fucking slays.

^it does.

but I hate Brandon Flowers for this. I can only imagine him coming up with the idea for it in his douche lair.

oh my god brandon flowers has such a huge ego and i fucking hate him.

with that said, i liked the snippet

lol his new image will be a cowboy with guyliner and fruity hornpopsicle music.

oh wait a minute....

The snipped is seriously awesome. Curious how it will turn out.

I don't see how they could be classified as noise rock at all...? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the definition of "noise rock?"

YOUR SARCASM DETECTOR IS FUCKING FAILING

Haha my bad. I meant absolutely no sarcasm in previous comment.

Ya, the snippet is properly awsome

i hope him singing doesnt ruin it

When did Brandon become Rivers?
