More on Kings of Leon
Description from Wikipedia:
Kings of Leon is an alternative rock band from Nashville, Tennessee formed in 1999 by the brothers Caleb Followill (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Jared Followill (bass guitar and backing vocals, keyboards) and Nathan Followill (drums and backing vocals), with their cousin Matthew Followill (lead guitar and backing vocals). Both their father (who was actually named Ivan) and grandfather went by the name 'Leon', which is where the band gets its name. The band's early music was an upbeat blend of southern rock and garage rock influences. Since then, the band has experimented with various genres of music. Since the band's 2003 debut, they have grown from an indie act to achieve international superstardom, particularly in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The band also experienced a huge growth in popularity in Canada and the United States on the heels of their 2008 album Only by the Night. As of 2009, Kings of Leon have attained nine Top 40 singles in the United Kingdom, including the number-one single "Sex on Fire".
