Most of the reviews agree that Flamingo was So Okay, It's Average, while Big Talk was better received. The band took a break after years of touring, during which time both frontman Brandon Flowers and drummer Ronnie Vannuci, unwilling to slow down, released their own solo albums entitled Flamingo and Big Talk respectively. Sam's Town was different, but also very much Eighties, being Heartland Rock/Americana In the Style of. Their sound has been (very accurately) described as 'more Eighties than The '80s.' All their albums save Sam's Town have been essentially synth-driven indie-rock, with the influence of New Wave, particularly Duran Duran, painfully obvious. The Killers are a rock band from Las Vegas, made up of Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboard), Dave Keuning (guitar, backing vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass, backing vocals), and Ronnie Vannucci (drums/percussion, backing vocals).įor an indie-rock outfit, they've been quite successful, selling 15 million albums worldwide (and with Sam's Town and Sawdust hitting UK number one).
