The Killers have been smashing out modern rock hits for two decades now and on December 8th they’ll put a bow on it with the career spanning hits collection, Rebel Diamonds.
The Las Vegas, Nevada bands has 7 studio albums and the collection will feature at least one track from each album, the recent single “Your Side of Town,” plus the new song “Spirit.”
The press release shares a little of the “why” behind this project:
The collection is made up of songs that embody who The Killers are as a band, in addition to including some favorites of theirs that have resonated over the years – tracks like “Be Still,” from 2012’s album Battle Born or “Dying Breed” from 2020’s album Imploding The Mirage or “A Dustland Fairytale” from 2008’s Day & Age, which the band recently re-recorded and performed with Bruce Springsteen.
In the teaser video, lead singer Brandon Flowers says, “see it’s been said that what’s remembered lives and we’ve racked up stadiums full of memories the past twenty years, enough to fill lifetimes. Twenty songs for twenty years – Rebel Diamonds.”
I wonder if the time I interviewed The Killers in Victoria, British Columbia back in 2009 will make it on the album? Maybe just a shoutout buried in the liner notes?
