The Killers - Live

The Killers perform "All These Things That I've Done" @ Coachella 2009

THE KILLERS suffers FOR under pressure BANDS

According to Stoermer, today's bands features an increasingly difficult time getting their big smash due to the present nature of the business.He points out that many outfits are struggling due to a sharp increase in illegal downloads which are responsible for a sharp fall in CD sales."It's a really hard time for new bands. It's not that there's a lack of good music, it's just that labels are struggling financially."Some people say that record labels are bad but people forget they are the ones who break the bands and get them on their way."However, he still in confident that labels would survive thanks to a renewed interest in."In the Eighties no-one was really going to see live music. Now it's big business," he remarked.Elsewhere, he recently expressed concern about the impact of the band's touring on the environment.

The Killers will take the place of U2.

Rockers THE KILLERS are strong-minded to be more doing well than U2 - insisting the Irish band will have to give up their place at the top of the music "pedestal".Frontman Brandon Flowers confess he is a big fan of the One hit makers, but feels it is time for the ageing musicians to be replaced as one of the world's most successful bands.And the singer is convinced that The Killers will be able to topple the legendary group.He says, "(We can replace U2 on the top) pedestal. They're getting old. You know there's going to be a couple of songs on (their) new record you're just going to love. But there's gotta be... I dunno. It feels like it's time."
