The song "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon has been stuck in my head all morning, which made me think, 'why not blog about them.'
This band relased their third 2007 album "Because Of The Times", which Entertainment Weekly called it their "crowning achievement," and Rolling Stone questioned their improvement because to their surprise, had already gotten so huge. The 2003 Youth and Young Manhood and 2005 Aha Shake Heartbreak lead to the ground-breaking Because of The Times bringing the band to global success. Selling out concerts all over the U.S., Kings of Leon also healdlined the Glastonbury Fesitval in the U.K. and the Oxygen Festival in Ireland all while selling out at their London show of a 20,000-seat Arena in under an hour (where Led Zeppelin held its reunion concert).
Kings of Leon will be headlining Reading and Leeds Festivals on Friday, August 28th and Sunday, August 30th August with Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, Placebo, The Prodigy, Bloc Party, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs just to name few.
They are really a great band with a unique sound so take a listen to "Use Somebody" if you hadn't already heard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCZfJ5ai07U
