Kings Of Leon are a group whose name is instantly recognisable to many; if you are a die-hard fan of the band or not, it is more than likely that their guitar hooks and arena-rock choruses have reached your ears at some point in time, whether it was on a night out or simply browsing through music online. The band released their debut full-length record Youth And Young Manhood in 2003, which would set the precedent for their next two albums, Aha Shake Heartbreak (2004) and Because Of The Times (2007). These three albums featured a garage-tinged rock sound, with duelling guitars and a Strokes-esque drawl from singer Caleb Followill. In 2008, the band would release Only By The Night, which saw them altering their sound and echoing rock sensibilities of the time. This album featured the singles ‘Sex On Fire’ and ‘Use Somebody’ which are two of the groups’ most widely known tunes.
2021 has seen the band releasing their eighth studio album on January 7th, entitled When You See Yourself, which is available on all streaming services.
Kings Of Leon are currently approaching the end of a US tour, which will be followed by a set of shows in Australia in New Zealand in March 2022, preceding their ventures in the UK and Europe.
