Legends of Boogie Rock
Kings of Leon return this year with a brand new album and tour! 'Can We Please Have Fun' is the band's ninth studio album and sees them return to a playful form much like their early albums. With the lead single 'Mustang' gaining huge critical acclaim, KOL is back and better than ever!
The band formed in 1999 in Nashville, by three brothers - Nathan, Jared and Caleb Followill - and their cousin Matthew. Only three years after they first started playing together as a band, they'd already received interest from record producers. They signed with RCA Records, and released the Holy Roller Novocaine EP in 2003. Their raw boogie rock, with more than a dash of Southern musical influence, was an immediate hit and saw their debut studio album - Youth and Young Manhood - released later in 2003. Since then the band have had hits such as 'Use Somebody' and 'Sex On Fire', which cemented them as household names.
Nine albums and over ten years later, the Kings of Leon are still singing about sex, drugs and rock 'n roll - though now their lyrics often offer insight to the pressure fame can bring, even to a close-knit band such as they are.
