BATTLE BORN
BIOGRAPHY

From out of the wreckage of the American Civil War, the great state of Nevada came into being on October 31st, 1864. Its creation immediately helped to secure the re-election of Abraham Lincoln, the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment and, ultimately, the future of the union. Today, that proud but painful history is en-shrined in the two words emblazoned on the ... Read more in Amazon's The Killers Store

For too many 'flash in the fan' acts, the second single can be awfully disapointing. Luckily, this is far from the case as regards Las Vegas Synth rockers The Killers.

Mr Brightside is a truly catchy, mutli genre song. If you like bands like Stellastarr*, Interpol, Jet, and Franz Ferdinand. Buy this. It is an elegant suffusion of all the best bits of indie rock, and sexy synth backing akin to Duran Duran, and Dexys Midnight Runners.

Both Mr brightside sinlges also have excellent B-sides. Change your mind is an excelent track, upbeat and dripping with gorgueous synth rifs and great basline. Very catchy and in my opinion worthy of its own single.
The 2nd version contains a special version of the fantastic track Midnight show, the most angry of all the Killers songs, wailing guitar and pumping lyrics. Add this to any Indie giants album and it would not be out of place. The killers provide excellent value for money.

Look down the back of the sofa, find £4, and buy this CD! you will not be dissapointed.

After being introduced to the single by a friend i have been totally hooked ever since!
Every part of the song is out of this world, The lyrics, the guitar place, the structure, the drums, EVERYTHING!!

The lyrics describe a sort of jealous realisation, for example "It started out with a kiss / how did it end up like this"
The chorus is truly brilliant, and the bridge just sends shivers of pure joy down ones spine, You really can feel the music in this song.

Its definetly the best single available out at the moment, and i can't wait for their album due on June 7th.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot Fuss.... 27 May 2004
Format:Audio CD
If ever there was a band that could own Summer 2004, the Killers are them! This is a track that oozes of festival fever and just makes you want to pack up your job and head for a muddy field for extortionate amounts of money.
Great live band as well, even if the guitarist looks suspiciously like a cross between Nicky Wire and Robert Smith...!
Buy the single now becuase in a few months time it'll be worth a fortune...I hope....
