Fallout Boy cop the, er, fallout

The Killers appear to have a developed a new feud – this time with US band Fallout Boy.

It seems Fallout Boy bassist Pete Wentz took exception to comments made by frontman Brandon Flowers last week to NME.COM.

Commenting on the spat with The Bravery, Flowers admitted the division occurred because both groups share the same A&R guy and he wanted “all his attention”, before the singer added: “now he’s just signed Fallout Boy, which means more of his attention will go to them that should have gone to The Killers”.

However the Fallout Boy bassist hit back on his band’s official website Falloutboyrock.com writing: “It's funny the way you talk about sharing an A&R guy like it matters", adding, "It's too bad you wrote a couple of good songs, otherwise it'd be that much easier to write you off", MTV News reports.

Wentz then stepped his attack on The Killers using the fact that another Las Vegas band, Panic! At The Disco, recently got a record deal to take a shot at the The Killers on Fueledbyramen.com.

"I hope none of THE OTHER Las Vegas BANDs get jealous that there is another gem out in the middle of the desert," Wentz wrote. "F---ing wasting my time on FLOWERS."

So far The Killers have yet to respond to their latest beef.
