The Guy from the Killers ‘goes solo’, writes crappy new song that sounds like the Killers


Brandon Flowers is the lead singer of the popular alt rock band The Killers. Feel like that band is probably the next U2 or something, probably a ways ahead of the Arcade Fire for ‘the most popular mainstream band that people like 2 pretend is alt.’

N e ways, seems like that bro went solo, and made some music video. Pretty boring song, boring video. Not sure who this appeals to, but imagine people who are really into the Killers ‘talking themselves into this artsy solo project.’ Charlize Theron is in the video, probably to appeal to international / South African audiences. Song is too boring to make the video ‘even remotely interesting.’ Feel like even the quality of this post was ‘compromised’ because of the quality of the video/song, but just wanted to share this lame experience with yall.

Sorta think he should just keep writing the cheesy poppy bullshit to please the most people possible.

N e ways, feel 0% interested in this ‘exciting new solo project.’ Wonder if it will get tons of mainstream buzz, or if Pitchfork will give it a 3.0, ‘just for shits.’

Do yall like the Killers?
Is Brandon Flowers ‘the most authentic front man in alt rock’?
Do u remember when the Killers were just a buzzband, playing ‘new wave, synth driven pop’?

Does the Killers dude seem like a ‘dbag’ compared to his old personal brand?
