If you're a fan of rock music, then you need to check out The Killers. They are one of the best rock bands in the 21st century, and they continue to release brilliant music that appeals to fans of all ages. Whether you're a long-time fan or just getting started, here's everything you need to know about The Killers.

The Killers is a rock band that formed in 2001 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The band members are Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards), Dave Keuning (lead guitar, backing vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion). The band has been influenced by Oasis, Radiohead, U2, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, The Cure, David Bowie, and Bruce Springsteen.

The Killers released their debut studio album, Hot Fuss, on June 7, 2004. The album was a critical and commercial success. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums and UK Independent Albums charts and peaked at number seven on the US Billboard 200 chart. The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2005 Grammy Awards. It was also ranked by Rolling Stone at number nine on their 10 Greatest Debut Albums of All Time: Readers' Poll list. The album featured the hit songs "Mr. Brightside", "Somebody Told Me", "All These Things That I've Done", and "Smile As You Mean It".
