The Killers To Drop New Album In 2012
Wed Jan 4 2012 by Becky Bain
After delivering yet another fun Christmas charity single at the tail end of 2011, The Killers are planning to take on 2012 by releasing their fourth studio album. The Las Vegas band is currently working with producers Steve Lillywhite (U2, 30 Seconds To Mars) and Brendan O'Brien (The Fray, Brandon Flowers' solo album Flamingo), and can confirm that a song called "Battle Born" will appear on the LP, which will drop either in the summer or winter of this year. "We're not looking to go and make some drastic change or throw a curveball," Flowers said of the album. "I think the consensus in the band is: let's take the things we have already done and really hone in on that." Add this onto our list of 2012's most anticipated releases! [Via Digital Spy]

Tue Nov 29 2011 by Becky Bain

The song hits iTunes tomorrow, but you can listen to it below. More »

Tue Oct 18 2011 by Becky Bain
Patrick Stump’s debut solo album Soul Punk drops today, and its fusion of pop, R&B, soul, and dance is a far cry from anything he released during his ten years in Fall Out Boy. It will be interesting to see how FOB followers react to the singer’s new experimental sound, but going solo is never without its risks. Stump isn’t the first artist to either permanently or temporarily step away from the group that made them famous in order to pursue their own project. Check out our retrospective of 10 other music acts courageous enough to brave it alone. More »

Brandon Flowers Does A Space Dance In His “Only The Young” Video
Tue Oct 5 2010 by Becky Bain
We're not sure we would have picked Brandon Flowers' "Only The Young" to be the next single off his solo album Flamingo, ( the upbeat ditty "Was It Something I Said?" feels more radio-friendly to us), but the Sophie Muller-directed video for the track is certainly beautiful. The clip, featuring Flowers in a Rat Pack-approved tux, looks like a sci-fi movie musical fused with a Cirque Du Soleil show. Watch below.
