The Killers return, go big with Runaways

Las Vegas rockers The Killers are back with their new album “Battle Born,” which is due out Sept. 18. The group was beginning to feel burnt out by 2008′s “Day & Age,” but the time off seems to have worked to their advantage: “Battle Born’s” first single “Runaways” is a grandiose rocker that picks up where “When You Were Young” left off. Check out the video for the single here:

It’s got stars, it’s got earnestness, and it’s got a slight “Lost Highway” vibe with those shots of the road speeding by. Suddenly, we’re ready for the Killers to return. Hopefully there’s a late 2012 or early 2013 tour in the works.
