I concur with Ant, The Killers are by far and away the best ever indie-rock band, beating the likes of REM, as far as i'm concerned, the Day & Age album is going to be one of those all time classics, it is so unique, a different sound, such awesome quality, I love this band to bits, especially Brandon Flowers, he is ace, they all are, but him in particular, saw them live, and have been hooked ever since.
