Friday mp3: Kings of Leon

Kings of Leon formed ten years ago, a band of three brothers and one cousin schooled on southern American rock and Blues. The Holy Roller Novocaine EP in 2003 proved their big break, the tracks that would make up the debut, Youth and Young Manhood.

Second album Aha Shake Heartbreak remains their outstanding work, and led to tours with Dylan and The Strokes. Their last two records have certainly shifted more units, but perhaps haven't lived up to the promise of the first two LPs; more chartable singles but less critical acclaim.

This is their best track.

  1. Ah I think Knocked Up is my favourite KoL song.....that or Red morning Light....or day old blues. God knows actually. Great band, despite their most recent album/them being manufactured.
