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 while considering the influence of the 21st century, and the history of the band. But the main goal is to make each other laugh.

In this episode, we lose touch with reality and imagine what it must have been like to be a 27-year-old Brandon Flowers immediately after his very own sophomore slump (not that we think that of Sam's Town). Sit back and relax as we ramble on yet again about how Day & Age is a metaphor for the seven stages of grief.

Today, KSP is talking about Terrible Thing, Katie's #24 most-listened-to song of 2021 according to Spotify Wrapped. We discuss the salt creek, bulls, and the feeling of isolation that comes with not fitting the mold of your small town.

Katie, Emma, and Jay really like The Killers. Some might even say they’re sluts for ‘em.
You wouldn't expect the Grammy-nominated indie-synth-pop-glam-heartland-rock band The Killers to have a substantially large online following comprised of people aged 15-30, but they do. Best friends Katie, Emma, and Jay all met online thanks to their love of the band and have decided to share that love with the world at large. This decision was made to honor the fact that teenage girls have been the deciding factor in what is popular and successful since the time of The Beatles, yet are so often ridiculed for unapologetically loving their favorite bands.
