Dave Keuning has revealed that the songs on his upcoming new solo album were offered to The Killers first.Earlier today (April 22), the band’s guitarist announced new LP ‘A Mild Case Of Everything’, as well as sharing new track ‘Ends Of The Earth’.The self-titled second LP from Keuning is set to arrive on June 25 and features a selection of tracks that he had initially written as potential offerings for the band.“Quite a few of these songs were shown to the Killers and, for whatever reason, not used,” he told Rolling Stone. “And so I used them.

I just didn’t want to hold onto some of them any longer because I’m not getting any younger. I wanted to finish them.”Keuning recorded the 16-track album at his San Diego home studio and explained.
