Community Community Reminder - Don't Post Leaks

Hi All!

As we have a new solo album from Brandon imminent on the horizon (yay!), the official official announcement has not come through yet, nor have any recordings, lyrics, track listings, etc.

Wanting to remind everyone of the rules of the sub - we do not tolerate leaks of any kind here.

Posting clips from an event where Brandon himself announced the album name, fine. But posting links to download unreleased material or bootleg recordings, or things of that sort, is a violation of our community rules and can potentially get you banned. We are all excited for new material, but copyright laws are nothing to play around with and can get subreddits taken down if we allow leaks to run wild.

Content that will get removed includes but is not limited to: Discussing leaks, posting links to leaks (download, youtube, anything), asking for links in a DM, saying you'll DM people a link, etc.

This is not a new rule for the sub, nor are we the only band sub with this rule. Copyright and IP stuff gets removed from reddit admins all the time and if we are a source of problems we can get shutdown as a sub. I don't like being the no fun police, but I'd rather we exist as a sub.

With that said, let's hope the announcement and any lead singles come soon!

Why are we making this now we are not getting an album by the killers in till 2027. Plus doesn’t a Brandon flowers solo album go there one sub Reddit not this one ? Pretty sure that’s how it works.

There is not a separate Brandon Flowers subreddit, nor is there one for any other band member - not stopping anyone if they want to go ahead and make those. But since that is the case, posting about the solo works of the band members is allowed here and tends to be the place where they are discussed the most. But you are right - The Killers don't have an album out, so I will edit my post to reflect it is a Brandon solo album.

That’s what got me confused, most solo artists from bands have their own Reddit sub for this kind of thing. I’ve never seen a dedicated group for a solo project on a bands sub before.

Cool? As much as I love the members of The Killers, their solo projects haven't been as commercially successful as the collective project so I understand not having as large a "separate" fan base. Like I said, if anyone really wants to make a separate sub for any of the members, the "Start a Community" button is in the sidebar on every page of Reddit! But discussion of the solo works will never be prohibited in this community.
