that is great 80's New Wave style. Have any of you heard them? They are so cool to listen to. 80's new wave is one of my guilty pleasures and this new band captures that same feel.

'Stang...if you dig them check out a band called The Bravery.......or Billy Corgan's new one...and believe it or not....*gulp*....Kelly Osbourne's new one. All of the aforementioned bands are purely in the 80's New Wave style.....

I liked the first one , but thought the second 'Sam's Town' was a tremendous disc - really strong set of songs. I still play it quite regularly. I also got the latest one a few weeks back, which isn't bad either.

 

Good band in general for me, for when I want something different.

The singer Brandon Flowers lived homeless on the streets of Salt Lake for many years, playing in countless bands, before hearing the call and greyhounding it to Vegas, which I guess paid off! if you guys wanna hear Killers at the most 80s sounding style I think they could pull off without actually being released in the 80s, check out their cd called Sawdust, it's B-Sides, Demos, and Remixes, it's got a song called Move Away, it's almost surreal what kind of 80s vibe they trap in this song, I bet you play it for 100 people that have never heard it, and 100 people would tell you it was a early to mid 80s song, excellent song also, not just 80s sounding, it is an extremely well done song, check it out.

I'm with you on this one mate. The 80's ruled (still rules)! That is my favourite decade in music. So many great artists, at least in the pop genre. The favourite of them all: Duran Duran.

I listened to a Killers album for first time the other day....

 

 

 

AWFUL!

 

 

Continues to justify why i hate music played on the radio. Why are these guys popular?! I dont get it! Also one of the worst vocalists ive heard.

 

Nobody on this thread said they had a good vocalist! nor did I read one post saying they were talented, I know I never said that, but you know what? if you played most of the shit on the radio all day long, the one time you wouldnt think it was all the same band playing is when the Killers came on, I'll be the first to say, which I have to countless friends, Brandon Flowers is a terrible singer, but he makes it work for the songs they play, and for that, they DON'T SOUND LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE! for better or worse.

Backed. They're absolutely HUGE here & it's currently very cool to like them, so they sell millions. IMHO their talent just doesn't justify that level of sales & they're very overhyped. I much prefer the more commercial sounding pop bands (Kids in Glass Houses, Go:Audio, Forever the Sickest Kids). That said, I'd much rather hear the Killers on the radio to Rap or R&B!

A lot of truth here. I hate this band too and it just seems to me that if you're going to bother liking something like this, you may as well concentrate those efforts on a good band like Go:Audio or Forever the Sickest Kids. ;)

      By TheOriginalSplash · Posted

      Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan

      Deep Purple announce new album =1 (July 19, 2024 via earMusic)

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
