Fashion rockers from Las Vegas, named after the fictional team from the New Order video "Crystal", followed the motto of Alexander the Great: "I came, I saw, I won." Their very first album, "Hot Fuss", went three times platinum in the US, and in the UK (where the guys were accepted as their own) it surpassed this result twice and climbed to the top of the national chart. Some referred the Killers to the wave of renovationist post-punk, others called them the heirs of Oasis, and still others called them almost new U2. Surprisingly, the Killers played the role of universal soldiers perfectly - their hits like "Mr Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me" worked equally well both in the format of a stadium rock concert and in a dance DJ set.
