Killers Talk Ambition

Band Want To Be Bigger Than U2

The Killers have been talking big as their third album 'Day And Age' hits the shops, with frontman Brandon Flowers saying he wants the group to be bigger than U2.

The Killers are the current cover stars of Clash Magazine, with 'Day And Age' being our album of the week. We like them, obviously. In a special treat for fans we've also dug out an old interview we did with the group when they were still unknowns. Listen to it here!

Brandon Flowers was interviewed recently, and claimed he had “drive bordering on obsession”.

"U2 are unbelievable, but they're getting old," Flowers said. "It feels like it's time."

He added: “We wanna see where this will take us. It doesn't make any sense to place restrictions.

“We write these songs as human beings, and they affect us, and we put them out there in the hope that they will affect other human beings, that they transcend any limitations."

The Killers are currently doing battle with Guns 'N' Roses for the UK number one album slot.
