Definately Kings!!!

"
Ok so i love music, not too fussy about genres, just as long as it sounds great, or as long as i can bust a move 2 it then i'm all good!!! So whilst searching around on youtube @ about 3 in the morning!, looking 4 Jools Holland episodes that i'd missed (big fan!) i stumbled across some live performances from the Kings of Leon!! now i was fairly familiar with the band, and as i recall i heard some of there stuff a few years back n frankly thought it was SHIT!! but this time round, being a lil' older n wiser i took the time out to listen to their stuff, and it was absolutely great!!! OMG!! i could not get 'On Call' outta my head 4 weeks! So me being me, with my tendencies to impulse buy, and my un-savvyness (thats right,new word!) ways with money, i decided to buy their whole back catalogue of Amazon, which is only three albums, Youth and Young Manhood, Aha Shake Heartbreak, and Because of the Times! as well as a few EP's! All three are absolutely wicked albums, even for those who aren't really into the whole indie-rock thing, cannot deny the catchy-ness and genius of songs like, 'On Call', 'Charmer' and 'Four Kicks'!!! In their early stages of being a group and releasing their 1st album, the band had a very questionable, image and fashion sense!! One comparison that comes 2 mind is of a throwback to the seventies, long-feathered hair, and handle-bar moustaches. But besides looking like they just stepped out of Woodstock, the bands style was refreshing, raw, and very southern (they are from Nashville, Tennessee)!!

Now with their latest release in '07 Because of the Times, the Kings came out with a much slicker (and hotter) image, frontman Caleb Followill chopped of those damn annoying locks that he often let his ears peek out through, and now looks uber hotttt!! And evidently, their sound has evolved, less of the southern drawl, n bad clothes, but more clean cut, and stylised. But however they look and what ever sound they pick for their next record, i can now say that they are definately the kings of my music collection at the moment.
