Kings of hearts err.. Leon!


Kings of leon are an American band from Tennessee. They are a family band, Followill kids, with 3 blood brothers and a cuz thrown together.. why Kings of leon.. you see their Pa is Leon (also Granpa) and hence
the sons and cuz are the kings of Leon!


Caleb (Anthony Caleb Followill) is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist. His voice like the cotton candy, solid but melting right when it touches your tongue, disappearing when you thought you could bite it, leaving behind a sweet trail that leaves you smacking your lips and wanting more.

Nathan (Ivan Nathan Followill) on drums and percussion, Jared (Michael Jared Followill) on bass guitar and finally cousin Matthew (CameronMatthew Followill) lead guitarist.  The music hmm.. so many medleys raising and falling like many waves leaving you breathless and a tingling in the nerves and heart racing gasping for breath.

 

Without dispute I think The KOL fans agree that 'Only in the night' has been there best album .. Some of my fav are from this album and here it goes..

Knocked up - The audacity of the youth and the confidence with which Caleb sings the line is gorgeous. Reminds of my 11th class days when I felt nothing was beyond me.

And the pace and rhythm of 'sex is on fire' is simply awesemo!

Fans, now theres a song that dedicated to the London crowd that gives you the creeps as if you are part of that huge concert and feeling what the band felt as they sang for the Britons..

Closer, I think the comment by some fan sums it 'It creeps under your skin and lays eggs in your brain that hatch to give birth to awesome!'

'Be somebody' is everyone's top fav.. great drumming here..

Radioactive is another hot fav in my list.. guitaring is really good here and I love the chorus..
