New Music!

I'm not sure if any of you know this, but I am a HUGE fan of The Killers. Seriously. You have no idea. I've been a fan since like 8th grade, and they were the first real band I liked [after the whole boy band/teen pop stage...wow that seems like a really long time ago. Anyway]. So if you know anything about The Killers, you probably know that they went on 'hiatus' not too long ago. When I heard this, I was so sad. I've never even seen them live before! I was very disappointed...But I recently [I know I may be a little late on this] found out that Brandon Flowers is actually doing his own solo project. Brandon Flowers is the singer for The Killers and did a lot of the synthesizer for them, too. He made this announcement in April on The Killers' website. Obviously, right when I heard about it I searched for any kind of sample of the music. Only one song has been released so far - Crossfire. It's pretty good and I'm excited to hear the rest of the album. As expected, it sounds very much like The Killers. Of course it would, I mean Brandon Flowers was kind of the face of the band by being the lead singer and it's usually the singer's style that is shown the most in a band. Personally, I think Flowers is a very talented musician and I haven't ever been let down by a single Killers' album and I'm sure I'll love this one as much as I've loved those done by The Killers. 'Crossfire' is currently available on iTunes and the album is set to be released on September 14th. Keep an eye out for it! I will definitely be buying it once it's released. You can listen to the single here at Brandon Flowers' website.

Also, in other news...
One band you should keep an eye on: Red Robot. You probably won't find their music if you searched for it. But they are a band from my city of Los Angeles. They're actually friends of mine. [Yes, I am shamelessly promoting a friend's band on here.] But seriously, listen to their first single. They're working on their first real EP this summer and they've just released their single 'Stars Ignite' which you can download here. It's really good and everyone I know who has listened to it, loves it. Since there isn't really a way to hear their music anywhere, you should be a fan of them on facebook. They post videos and other random things about what they're doing, musically, on there. So check them out and enjoy! Goodnight :]
