Fuckin Killers.
'Quite catchy yet lyrically lacking' seems like quite a good summation.

yeh, i reckon that's a problem..
although it makes it easier if the song is stuck in your head to be able to sing it without kinda going "nah nah nah" in the bits you don't know...
somebody told me nah nah nah nah nah who looked like....

Was at this last year, as was the killers but I didn't bother going to see them. Missed the wu-tang clan aswell. Line up so far is a bit nineties, isn't it?

Look at the posing in that pic! Hilarious. Brandon looks good though.

Actually whilst the substance with the chemical symbol o2 is spelt oxygen, the irish music festival formerly known as witness is spelt oxegen

The Killers are rubbish.
That's a FAR better description.

What a bunch of tossers.

All These Things That I've Done is good actually though, I do think they get criticised all the time unfairly. There's bands out there who don't get criticised who ply roughly the same musical route as them.

lyrically-lacking is correct!

i presume this means they're doing t in the park again as well.
Re: Killers confirmed for this year's Oxegen Festi
There are alot more lyrically lacking bands than The Killers around. It's just that those bands aren't popular enough for the average disers scorn or they pull out a good tune. I think The Killers can muster some good stuff, Hot Fuss is a pretty decent debut.

I don't think they're lyrically lacking at all.
"I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier, of stars and atmosphere, and watched her disapeer, into the midnight show.."
"Stay, if you wanna love me, stay. Don't be shy, we'll cause a scene, like lovers do on silver screens."
"Another, head ache, another heart break, I'm so much older than I can take"
"Looking back, on sunsets on the east-side..we lost track of the time"
I think they're pretty decent, personally.
