The Killers at the 02 Arena, Dublin

The band churn out the dreariest material from both Sam’s Town and Day & Age, and – although I’m definitely in the minority – I find myself feeling a bit bored.

The Killers on Bono, cover albums and career breaks

Hot Press met guitarist Dave Keuning last night in the Dublin O2.

HP cover stars The Killers go No. 1

Current Hot Press cover stars The Killers have crashed into the No.1 slot in Ireland with their new album Day & Age.

Day & Age

A few decent songs can't outshine this record's over-produced stadium rock. The Las Vegas rockers' latest just doesn't have the same sparkle.

From Boys to Hitmen

They've waved goodbye to Sam's town, and gone for the stadium rock jugular with their new Day & Age album.

The Killers plan Irish shows

The Killers launch into 2009 with February shows in the O2, Dublin and the Odyssey, Belfast.

EXCLUSIVE: Killers to play The Academy!

Hot Press can exclusively reveal that The Killers are to play a special intimate show at Dublin's Academy.

UPDATED: The Killers to play Marlay Park

The Killers do a lap of honour on August 21 when they play Marlay Park as part of a three-night series of gigs in the Rathfarnham venue.

Sawdust

A respectable collection which raises the question: why do the Killers pad their albums out with mediocre filler, when they have at least some decent alternative material to spare?

Killers confirmed as Vital headliners

As previously revealed on hotpress.com, The Killers will headline the Tennents Vital show in Belfast this August. Now organisers have confirmed support acts, as well as a change of venue.

Killers to headline Belfast Vital gig

Stars'n'gripes

They’ve embraced the big sound of America but The Killers still aren’t fully comfortable with the burdens of stardom, reveals frontman Brandon Flowers.

The Killers + Black Rebel Motorcycle Club live at the RDS, Dublin

The singer is actually much more assured onstage than the last time I saw The Killers, at the Olympia in 2004, when his inhibitions seemed to be holding him back.

The Killers illness forces gig cancellation

The long-awaited Killers concert tonight (November 30) has been cancelled as illness strikes the band.

Killers On The Loose Again

Having sold-out their previously announced Point Theatre date in less than 15 minutes, The Killers have announced additional Dublin shows in the RDS Main Hall on February 27 and 28.

Sam's Town

Sam’s Town suggests that the newly face-fuzzed Brandon Flowers has contracted a serious dose of Bruce-llosis (a quick scan of the album’s titles yields a number of Boss buzzwords: “river”, “town”, “Jonny”, “wild”). No bad thing necessarily, but any rock band without the E-Streeters’ skill or Springsteen’s Steinbeckian grasp of American history should beware of straying across the wrong side of the New Jersey tracks and ending up in Bon Jovi-ville.

Sam's Town

Sam’s Town consistently grandstands to the bleachers, makes cheap plays for the listener’s emotions and foolhardily flaunts with the conventions of good taste. Just like a great rock ‘n’ roll record should.

My life with the thrill kill kult

Their debut Hot Fuss sold over 4 million copies and in the process set The Killers up as one of the brightest young hopes of the modern era. On the eve of the release of their second album Sam’s Town, the band look like settling for nothing less than U2-sized supremacy. Now, if only Brandon Flowers would shave off that, ahem, controversial face fuzz.

The Killers reveal tour details

As predicted by Hot Press, Las Vegas group The Killers have found time to visit Dublin during their European tour.

When You Were Young

Given that The Killers’ opening string of near classic singles, ‘When You Were Young’ is a bit of a shock at first, being apparently devoid of any kind of hook. Give it a few listens however, and its subtle charms start to reveal themselves. They haven’t messed with the format too much, but there is a noticeable toughening up of the sound and an almost Springsteen-esque epic rock feel. Not the best record of the fortnight, but certainly the biggest and potentially most intriguing.

The Killers on the loose again

We get the first whisperings of a return from Las Vegas's The Killers.

Crime Scene Investigation

How did Brandon Flowers, Ronnie Vannucci, Dave Keuning and Mark Stoermer go from the Las Vegas dive bar circuit to selling four million copies of their debut album, Hot Fuss? On the eve of the band's highly-anticipated Oxegen 2005 appearance, Stuart Clark talks to the people involved in the making of The Killers.

The Killers keep the "big songs" rolling

Yet to release the next single from Hot Fuss, The Killers are already in the studio working on their follow-up album

Somebody Told Me

No doubting their status as one of the bands of 2004, but isn’t it a touch early for the Killers to be reissuing their singles?

Slay it with Flowers

They may be one of the hottest bands of the year, but Las Vegas synth fiends The Killers are planning to cool off this Christmas with some well-earned down-time and a skiing holiday in Utah. But not before they’ve discussed texting Charlize Theron, hanging with Elton John and that David Bowie tribute with Stuart Clark.
