the killersluts podcast
Katie, Emma, and Jay have been listening to The Killers since they were little—members of the first generation to truly grow up with the band. Now in their twenties, these three ladies have found that the love they hold for their favorite band has only grown over time. On the Killersluts Podcast, they take a look at the band’s discography to analyze the music and lyrical content while considering the history of the band. But the main goal is to make each other laugh.
Episodes
In this week's special episode, all three killer sluts are in the same room! Forgive our audio quality because of this fact. In this episode, we come up with a hot new conspiracy theory: Did Brandon conceive Get Trashed almost completely on his own? Here's a spoiler for you since we didn't have our Get Trashed CD on hand--the liner notes point to yes. Brandon's discography as a producer is comprised of the two greatest songs you'll...
This week, we're back in the world of Pressure Machine! More specifically, we're in the car outside. We talk about the familial relationship between the characters of this song, and the reasons why our narrator might feel compelled to "lend" a "hand" to his flickering high school flame.
One year after Hot Fuss 20 and the release of Bright Lights, we look back to reflect on that song. Tune in to hear some reminiscing about our trip to Vegas last year, the Caesars Palace residency, and most importantly: Bright Lights, the song made to commemorate the occasion.
This week, we're talking about yet another bonus track! The mourning dove sings with two broken wings, "Carry Me Home is a baller track that deserves more recognition!!" Topics of discussion include: Shmandon from Shmutah, The Desired Effect "pre-crumbs", and the weight of fame. Katie, once again, attempts to break the contract she signed barring her from talking about Neon Tiger too early. It's a silly one.
This week, we're getting our hair cut. We're getting our money on straight. We're getting our heads right. We're remembering who our friends are, and all that shit. If you listen to this episode, you might learn how to do the same.
This week, we want you here with us! We're discussing Here With Me, a song that may now have a cult following after years of being put down for being too sappy. Katie and Jay discuss the power of an '80s rock ballad while Emma shares her complicated history with the song.
This week, we're talking about BOOOOONEEEEEEES. If you weren't aware, this song is kinda dirty. Topics include SEX, RELIGIOUS GUILT, and RONNIE'S JIANS (you'll have to make it to the end of the episode to understand that last one).
In this possibly controversial episode, we share our love for C'est La Vie. Open your hearts and realize that there is dignity in calloused hands, the tools you have are not for sale, and sometimes you're the hammer--and sometimes, you're the nail.

Can it be the way it was? This week, we try to figure it out. There's lots of discussion about Elvis, county lines, and the relationship between our narrator and their darlin'. Plus, Emma and Katie recap their experience at RiverBeat Music Fest.
This week, the Killersluts are getting to talk about someone they love as much as The Killers: Phoebe Bridgers! This episode answers the following questions: How did Phoebe and Brandon meet? Who's the narrator in Runaway Horses? What's Phoebe's favorite TK album? What's OUR favorite Phoebe song? Tune in to find out!
This week, we are breathing in the blowback. Tune in to hear conversation about our favorite tic-tac flavors, similarities to an Emily Dickinson poem, and the band's relationship with the concept of white trash.
This week we're bringing the bump to the grind--ahho, I don't mind--'cause we're on top. This episode is a little silly because how are we supposed to talk about lyrics like "In the back I can't crack we're on top" with a straight face? Sit back and relax as we discuss cigarettes in mouths, handshakes in doorways, and the real star of this week's episode--Rio (2011).
This week, we're saying goodnight! Tonight's bedtime story is about grief and loss as we explore the song Goodnight, Travel Well. In this episode, there's lots of discussion about Brandon's tendency to steal lyrics when working under pressure, space as a metaphor for the afterlife, and just death in general. This episode is 99% death, but we try our best to make it lighthearted. Enjoy!
The weight has been lifted! This week we're talking about My God, a fan-favorite track off of Imploding the Mirage. In this episode, Emma learns what a fretless bass is, we talk about mirages (metaphorical and literal), and we share an interpretation of the lyrics that was definitely not Brandon's intention when he wrote the song.
We're imagining another life this week. Where would we be without Pressure Machine? Luckily, we don't have to think of that because we're talking about In Another Life! Topics of discussion include country music, connections to other songs on the album, and an Instagram livestream.
Here comes The Calling! We have a special guest on to talk with us about this song this week, so strap in for that. Topics of discussion include the bible (obviously), the narrator as a metaphor for Jesus, why Bobby went insane, and a live watch of The Calling at Bonnaroo 2018.
This week, we are discussing the fan favorite, Sweet Talk! This is a long episode because there is a lot to talk about. Tune in and get comfy as we discuss religious imagery, more lyric debates, and all the reasons so many people love Sweet Talk.
Welcome back to the show! This week, we are talking about a common myth concerning For Reasons Unknown (at least, a myth as far as we can tell) and what we think the song is actually about. We also discuss Brandon on bass (obviously) and watch the music video together. Strap in!
Don't forget to leave a comment to let us know what YOU think!
Happy New Year!!! In this episode, we reminisce on some of our favorite Killers moments of the year, and discuss your favorite moments too! We also polled our followers to get your input on the alleged Hot Fuss DVD, Brandon's potential third solo album, and whatever is happening with We Did It In The Name of Love. Finally, we talk about our predictions for 2025.
