By 2011 the popularity of indie music from a chart perspective had declined considerably compared to a few years earlier. The number of indie Top 40 hits for the year was now barely getting into double figures.
Perhaps not the best time to be making your Top 40 debut if you're an indie band then like Neon Trees. At the same time though "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers has an almost permanent residency in the UK charts and this band do sound a lot like The Killers.
This would be their only Top 40 hit though so maybe by this point the only indie record people wanted to still see in the charts was "Mr. Brightside".
