The Killers premiered their brand new, much awaited single "Runaways" today: the song is the first to be lifted from their fourth studio album, titled "Battle Born" and set to be released on September, 18 through Island Records.
"Battle Born" is also the name of the band's studio and a nickname for their home state: Nevada became a state during the US Civil War, that is where the nick comes from. "In a sense, all Americans are battle born. Our ancestors came here for something better" said frontman Brandon Flowers.
A series of big producers worked on the new record, including Madonna collaborator Stuart Price, Steve Lillywhite, Damian Taylor, Brendan O'Brien and Daniel Lanois. Phew...
