The Kings Of Leon


I was wondering if anyone on these forums is aware of the kings of leon,now i'm not suggesting for one minute that they are even remotely mod,they consist of three brothers and a cousin,and they look like inbred hillbillies,but they sound fantastic.I really like the single "mollys chamber" so i bought the album.A lot of the album sounds like early stones r'n'b,but some of it reminds me of the revival sound,fast powerful r'n'b,cant put my finger on which particular band they remind me of though.Its not to everyones taste but well worth checking out.

Yeah, i've heard the album Jon. Pretty good. Definate r n b vibe to it.

(out of interest, why do people call !@#$ like destiny's child r n b? it's not)

Re: The Kings Of Leon


Yeh I dig em too, the big ol' hairy mother hupboards. Just another take on garage, and if we were bothered about how bands look all the time, none of us would have much garage in the collection eh!? Its a genre proliferated by a lot of dudes who've been beaten by the ugly stick, and painted with the messy brush..........hold on...........I'll have to learn how to play guitar.................. :shootme: :rollineyes:

Re: The Kings Of Leon


The term r'n'b is widely used for such a broad range of music,john lee hooker to craig david?!,that its practically irrelevent.I think it makes it easier to sell the product if has a label,i remember an ex girlfriend insisting i go to this "rare groove" club with her a few years back,it turned out to a soul club playing music that wouldnt be out of place in a mod club.If you can label something then you can target your audience and therefore you can market your product,and make a few quid.

Hillbilly/punk/garage I would say.
  Quite a few tunes on the album were brill, but there were a few crap ones also(can't remember the names, I borrowed the C.D off a mate at work).
  Could well be a band to watch out for in the future.

Its a teenage dream, a hackneyed theme, a time stained story, a bid for glory, but if these dreams aren't really new, tell me why they never came true.
