I saw this band on Canadian television last night, on a MuchMusic special.  I stared with my jaw open for a minute because they were absolutely the worst band I have ever heard.  The singer had an affected Anglo/American tone, annoyingly shrill yet somehow devoid of feeling.  Since there are a lot of bands I haven’t heard of up here (Canadian content laws) I assumed they were Canadian.  I looked them up on the Web for fun today, and I found out to my great surprise that they are from Las Vegas.  They are called “The Killers.” In a nutshell: Blink 182 meets The Dream Academy.  This actually manages to be as bad as it sounds.
