Kings of Leon

[Blackcat]

I can't quite place it but they sound like some band from the 80's. Journey maybe a bit???????

[Earley]

Couldn't say who they sound like, but definitely not Journey. The new album sounds much different than the first two albums.

[Demasoni]

My ex was getting into these guys. Kind of have a radiohead sound to them. Really chill.

I DL'd their album, but can't stand the lead singer's delivery sometimes. I think it sounds like he's choking! It makes me worried lol! I think they could've done with a lot less reverb, too. I know, I know, everyone's a critic... I enjoy their somewhat creative sound in an era of cookie-cutter fashion-punk and long-gone-and-dead R&B.

I think they sound a little like U2 or At the Drive In's suckier stuff, or The New Radicals.

I do like their single, Use Somebody. Good shit.

I love the newest album. What I like most about these guys is the bass playing. Anytime a bass player can come in and help or lead the melody without out overpowering is sweet in my book. Plus, the newest album is one of the few I have listened to in the last year or so and really dig every song on it.

Try older Blues Traveler for great Bass Lines. Older stuff is better, they lost their Bass player to an OD. Replaced him with his brother. Also RUSH. Geedy Lee practically plays lead Bass!

I kinda agree. They have a "Hook" but I can't put my finger on it. Yet I want to dislike them but can't put my finger on.........well.....that's the problem. I can't figure out what. Possible an Era type sound???????

"Sex On Fire" is a GREAT song by KOL.

Oh Rush is friggin awesome IDC what anyone else says! Neil Peart is one of my fav drummers ever! He could play around his entire set AND keep a beat!

KOL has a following, so that's got to say something!
