New Kings of Leon


Somehow three brothers and a cousin from Nashville managed to insinuate themselves into our lives and provide the soundtrack to last summer with their second album 'Because of the Times', Ed O'Brien from Radiohead has called them 'the greatest band on earth'and I don't think he's far off. Moody Rock n' Roll that's as relevant in the South as it is in Oxford and Africa.

The Kings new album 'Only By the Night' is set for release in the States next week. Here's the first single, 'Sex on Fire':



It's dirty, sweaty, heartfelt and born of the humidity of some backwater swamp, but I like it, and so will you.
