Kings of Leon
The
Kings of Leon are an old fashioned Southern Rock band made up of three brothers and a cousin, all from Memphis, Tennessee. Their name is derived from the brothers' father, a Pentecostal evangelist. Thus their musical roots stem from playing in churches and their influences range the musical and social spectrum. They got their start with their album Youth and Young Manhood and rose to relative stardom by being chosen by the popular rock band
The Strokes to tour with them. Standout tracks include the erotic Molly's Chambers and soulful California Waiting. Their second album '
Aha Shake Heartbreak' was released in the UK in October 04 to widespread acclaim. The album is beautifully produced with a mix of fast rocking guitar and wonderfull bass riffs. 'The Bucket' and '4 Kicks' released as singles thus far.
Kings of Leon are:
- Caleb Followill (vocals/rhythm guitar)
- Nathan Followill (drums)
- Jared Followill (bass)
- Matthew Followill (guitar)
