The Killers back with Battle Born, 2012 concert schedule

The Killers have made themselves noticed since their first record Hot Fuss eight years ago. Since then they have been working on their sound. Each record has a sound all its own, but they always keep their fans wondering exactly what their sound is or could be.

After a nearly four-year hiatus, the Killers have returned with a new album “Battle Born”, set for release on September 18, 2012 through Island, Vertigo. The first single from the album titled Runaways was released as a promotional single. The single continues the pop-inflected style with production work that would be welcome on any pop-rock record.
