Kings of Leon is the youngest group i have discussed on this blog forming in Tennessee in 1999. The Band consist of four brothers Anthony Followill lead vocals and guitar, Ivan Followill percussion, Michael Followill Bass guitar, and Cameron followill Lead Guitar. They started with more of a southern rock feeling like a lynard skynard style music but changed more in to alternative sound. But this band is not stuck to one genre they can mix the songs up to a faster pace rock with great guitar riffs. The Kings of Leon first had success over sea's in the UK, they had nine top 40 hits and all three of the bands albums at the time reached top five on the UK Album charts. Only by the night was the firist big sucess in the US reaching number five on the billboard charts.
I feel this will be the next huge band already selling out concerts across the US and Europe. they have a lot of talent, with an amazing lead singer and great instrumentals from every member. some of their songs really can blow you away by the clean sounds and awesome vocals. I do think that their earlier work was a little better but to commercialize you do have to change your style a little bit. all in all this is my favorite band of today.
