Well, it seems to be that time again for the “Band Of The Week.” This week I chose Kings of Leon. I’m sure many of you may have heard of this group before, but for others this group is a MUST HAVE in your play-lists. I didn’t hear about this group until I watch MTV Music Awards and they played Use Somebody. I was instantly hooked! As usual here are some facts about the group from Amazon.com:

Initially embraced as “the Southern Strokes” for their resurrection and reinvention of Dixie-styled rock & roll, Kings of Leon steadily morphed themselves into an experimental rock outfit during the 2000s. The Tennessee-bred quartet debuted in 2003 with the Holy Roller Novocaine EP, whose blend of raw, unpolished boogie rock was further explored on their debut full-length, Youth & Young Manhood. Such revivalist music was matched by a similarly revivalist appearance — including long hair, mustaches, and tight-fitting denim — and Kings of Leon experienced immediate popularity in the U.K. (where they would later enjoy platinum album sales, despite an initially lukewarm reception at home). As the band explored different sonic textures with subsequent releases, most notably on 2007’s Because of the Times and 2008’s Only by the Night, those tenuous links to the Strokes were finally dissolved.

I love this group not only because they are from Tennessee (Mt. Juliet, TN- which is about 30 minutes from me) but because of their unique sound. I also think I am in love with the lead singers voice. Ok, well it’s time for me to shut up and let you listen. Here is a song from my favorite album Only By The Night:
