The Killers

In the live recording of "Miss Atomic Bomb" on *The Late Show with David Letterman*, The Killers were solidifying their position in the rock music scene after the release of their critically acclaimed album *Battle Born* in 2012. However, it’s important to note that the recording date of January 1, 2003, actually predates their debut album, *Hot Fuss*, which was released in June 2004. This performance came at an early stage of the band's career when they were still gaining traction with their hit singles like "Mr. Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me." The Killers would go on to become one of the defining bands of the 2000s, and this timeframe reflects a period of intense creativity for the group just before mainstream success. Notably, "Miss Atomic Bomb" later became one of their memorable tracks from the album *Battle Born*, encapsulating their signature sound blending rock and synth elements.
