Big Talk is an American rock band consisting of The Killers drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr (Vocals, Guitar, Drums, Bass, Keys) and Taylor Milne (Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals).
Big Talk will release its eponymous debut album on July 12, 2011. The first single, "Getaways," was released May 10, 2011. Producer Joe Chicarelli (The Strokes, My Morning Jacket) worked with the band on the album. It was then mixed at London's Assault & Battery by Alan Moulder (U2, The Killers, Foo Fighters). Former Weezer bassist Matt Sharp and Ted Sablay (who has toured with The Killers) also helped out on the album. The album is being called the "rock club-shaped soundtrack to the summer". It was recorded between November of 2010 and January of 2011 at Battle Born Studios.
The record will be released on Vannucci's own label "Little Oil" in association with Epitaph Records.
Formation
After touring and releasing albums for nearly nine years, Ronnie Vannucci Jr of The Killers and his bandmates went on hiatus. Shortly, he enlisted the help of a longtime friend and former band member (from Expert on October) Taylor Milne to record a solo album.
While performing live, Vannucci hopes to enlist Brooks Wackerman to play drums.

Critical Reception
SPIN's William Goodman wrote "While Brandon Flowers has been largely credited with the Killers' infectious rock melodies and hooks, it now appears that the band's secret weapon was sitting behind the drum kit." He continues that single Getaways is "an anthemic electro-rock jam with glistening synths and an upbeat, fun '80s feel, but in a way catchier (and better) way..."
David West of Rhythm Magazine wrote of tracks "Getaways" and "Replica" that "they rocked". He cites "Sharp riffs, great vocals, and of course the driving power that gives the The Killers their lethal edge," as reasons for his positive positive review.
