The Killers, "Hot Fuss"
“Hot Fuss” is one of my all-time favorite albums. In this episode, I'm diving in to the history of the album and how it came to be the Killers' signature work. My guest is Jon Landman of The Syndicate, who worked with the Killers in their earliest days to help promote the band and get “Hot Fuss” on American radio. We talk about the “Murder Trilogy,” the Bruce Springsteen and Duran Duran comparisons, how to write a song about your former bully, and why we don’t see a ton of bands coming out of Las Vegas.
