The Killers - Bones

The Killers might have abandoned sparkly eyeshadow and pink jackets for ill-advised facial hair and Bruce Springsteen's cast-off wardrobe but Bones clearly demonstrates that they haven't abandoned the ability to write a killer tune.

Second album Sam's Town didn't always bring the band glowing reviews but it's proved to be a fantastic grower and this is one of its many high points, with swelling riffs, soaring vocals and disco keyboards still mixed in with the rockier guitars to ensure they'll get the dancefloor moving.

Brandon Flowers' Vegas showmanship shines through and while some of the darker sensibilities that can be a highlight of Killers' melodies don't show their face here, what does is a catchy, anthemic radio friendly unit shifter with the weight of a great video behind it. Don't write them off just yet.
