California Waiting

Kings Of Leon

RCA

WE SAY

No soundclip. Kings Of Leon have come in for a little flack recently on our message board for not selling as well as The Darkness. This is nonsense of course - the KoL album was still in a very competitive top 75 before Christmas after 20 weeks, and The Darkness are a phenomenon few other bands could match right now for sales. Also, Kings Of Leon look great, sound great (especially the vocals), had one of the best tracks of the year with Red Morning Light, and show another side to their songwriting with this really good new single.
