Killers to release new album

The Killers are planning to release an album of B-sides, rarities and unreleased tracks, they have revealed.

The Las Vegas rockers are understood to have a host of relatively obscure material in the vaults, which could make-up the embryonic project.

Frontman Brandon Flowers says the band hit upon the plan because their fans in America have not been able to buy the singles released elsewhere across the world.

"In England we have a lot of B-sides that people in America would never know about because we don't have singles here", he told Billboard.

"So we have about 15 of these songs that people have never heard, and we wanted to stick them on something for people to get to have them all together."

Amongst the material set to feature are a series of songs from movie soundtrack, namely "Shadowplay", their Joy Division cover from Anton Corbijn's Ian Curtis biopic "Control".

The Killers headlined V2007 in the UK last weekend.
