The Killers sat down with Noisey to talk about the current state of rock music and their new album:
Do you think a band like yours could gain similar traction in the present day?
“It could happen — but there hasn’t been anybody good enough. If there was a band like the Strokes, or Interpol, people would talk. [Points outside to Brooklyn] If there were some kids out there right now playing [Interpol’s] ‘Obstacle 1’ tonight, I would hear about it, you would hear about it. But there isn’t.”
Yeah, I don’t think that’s it.
