Never heard of either. Wouldn't know them if I was sitting next to them on a plane.
Also, Portugal, The Man from Alaska.
The Killers played July 4th on the WH lawn at Obama's invitation. (2013 or so?). They had a pretty big hit "All The Things I've Done"
The Fray was electropop. They had a huge album about 15 years ago, "How To Save A Life". I had it as I was going through a synth pop phase. I think it sold a couple million units.
