The Killers were the latest big name act to appear on the new series of Later…with Jools Holland last night (October 30th), airing the lead single ‘Runaways‘ from their 2012 album ‘Battle Born‘.
The live edition of Jools also included appearances from Polica and Kristina Train amongst others, with an extended programme due to go out on Friday.
The Killers’ ‘Battle Born’ topped the charts in the UK and has to-date peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 in the US.
“‘Battle Born’ is replete with muscular power ballads, stirring, keyboard-led harmonies and call-and-response choruses,” Live4ever said in our review. “In fact, the band have never sounded so, well, alive.”
“Lead single ‘Runaways’ recalls ‘A Dustland Fairytale’, a pulsing, dramatic saga of a song about a restless lover itching to cut loose, and the lyrics are as yearning as any on ‘Sam’s Town’. Deserving opener ‘Flesh and Bone’, meanwhile, is awash with digital effects and spirited along on a steady, rolling drumbeat.”
