{"title":"The Killers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Killers are a Las Vegas-based four-piece formed in 2002, featuring singer\/keyboardist Brandon Flowers, drummer Ronnie Vannucci (Big Talk), guitarist Dave Keuning, and bassist Mark Stoermer. The band has sold over 25 million albums globally and received multiple Grammy nominations, AMA nominations, MTV VMA’s, and NME Awards. Their first album, 2004’s Hot Fuss, was released to worldwide acclaim and contained the singles “Mr. Brightside”, “Somebody Told Me”, and \"All These Things That I've Done\" After touring for two years, they worked with producers Alan Moulder and Flood on the 2006 follow-up Sam’s Town, spawning hits “When You Were Young” and “Read My Mind.” After the release of the compilation Sawdust in 2007, the band shared 2008’s Day \u0026amp; Age, anchored by the year’s top-streaming song “Human.” The release of Battle Born in 2012 saw them touring new countries, as well as perform at Wembley Stadium before releasing their 2013 ”best of” collection, Direct Hits. The band earned their first #1 on the US Billboard Top 200 as well as #1s in the U.K., Mexico, \u0026amp; Australia with their 2017 album Wonderful Wonderful. In 2020, they released Imploding The Mirage, earning them their 6th Top 10 on the US Billboard Top 200, another #1 in Australia, \u0026amp; a 5th #1 in Ireland. In August 2021, the band released Pressure Machine, a character-driven document of life in small-town America inspired by Flowers’ upbringing in Utah \u0026amp; their 7th consecutive #1 in the UK (Flowers’ 9th UK #1 overall).\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-killers-hot-fuss","title":"Hot Fuss","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are so many garage rock\/dance-rock tunes perfectly stylized and glamorous for the pop kids in the city and in the suburbs of new-millennium America.

This is due, at least in part, to the presence of veteran producers Flood and Alan Moulder (Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, U2), who help to make the tracks on SAM'S TOWN both brighter and edgier than earlier Killers tunes. While the Las Vegas-based act's Britpop-influenced songs are still marked by Brandon Flower's emotive vocals and bold synth lines, Dave Keuning's guitar riffs are amped up on much of the record, as exemplified by the urgent single \"When We Were Young,\" which easily stands as one of the quartet's finest tunes. Other highlights of this brooding album are the dramatic \"Bones\" and the yearning title track, songs that prove that the Killers may have unforeseen substance lurking under their carefully rendered style.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/3\/2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Killers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563640778985,"sku":"Q3IWKK-ZJ68-00","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/The-Killers-SAMS-TOWN_eH8a8_83a244ae-8d69-4114-8f52-8faeaa7ddd9e.jpg?v=1742359168"},{"product_id":"the-killers-sams-town-180-gram-vinyl","title":"Sam's Town (180 Gram Vinyl)","description":"DESCRIPTION:\r\nLimited 180gm vinyl LP pressing.

Sam's Town has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide. The album takes it's name from Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, a hotel and casino in Las Vegas, the band's hometown. Sam's Town was also a huge sign that was visible by band member Mark Stoermer through his room window when he was young.

After reconvening in early 2011, the band got to work on its fourth studio album, enlisting a small army of notable producers, including Daniel Lanois, Steve Lillywhite, Damian Taylor, Stuart Price, and Brendan O'Brien.

This is due, at least in part, to the presence of veteran producers Flood and Alan Moulder (Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, U2), who help to make the tracks on SAM'S TOWN both brighter and edgier than earlier Killers tunes. While the Las Vegas-based act's Britpop-influenced songs are still marked by Brandon Flower's emotive vocals and bold synth lines, Dave Keuning's guitar riffs are amped up on much of the record, as exemplified by the urgent single \"When We Were Young,\" which easily stands as one of the quartet's finest tunes. Other highlights of this brooding album are the dramatic \"Bones\" and the yearning title track, songs that prove that the Killers may have unforeseen substance lurking under their carefully rendered style.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/3\/2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Killers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589661290729,"sku":"15Q72I-SCJP-00","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/the-killers-sams-town-picture-disc_7VTSA.jpg?v=1759226518"},{"product_id":"the-killers-pressure-machine-deluxe-3-lp","title":"Pressure Machine [Deluxe 3 LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003ePressure Machine [Deluxe 3 LP] is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from The Killers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 12\/16\/2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Killers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589974749417,"sku":"ACAX6Z-NL0I-00","price":91.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/the-killers-pressure-machine-deluxe-3-lp_lLlJ8.jpg?v=1758771742"},{"product_id":"the-killers-spaceman","title":"SPACEMAN","description":"\u003cp\u003eSPACEMAN is a Records \u0026amp; LPs from The Killers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 4\/21\/2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Killers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44594760679657,"sku":"DE7NQX-J859-00","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/the-killers-spaceman_4Kl8P.jpg?v=1758818013"},{"product_id":"the-killers-day-age","title":"Day \u0026 Age","description":"On their third proper full-length, DAY \u0026amp; AGE, the Killers blend the glitzy glam of their smash debut, HOT FUSS, and the heartland rock of its follow-up, SAM'S TOWN, while throwing some stylistic curveballs along the way.
