Hey, I've just signed up after being a lurker for quite a while and I was wondering what you guys thought of the American band Kings Of Leon?.
I'm 20 and don't really rate many of today's bands, but I feel Kings Of Leon are a very good band. They have alot of uniqueness unlike near enough all other bands that have came along since the turn of the century.
From what I've read about KOL they're pretty much unknown in the states but are very big in England/UK where I'm from, their just about to release their 3rd album, it leaked last week and I've got my hands on it and it sounds very good, just like their first two records.
They also name The Stones as their main influence.
So do any of you lot dig their stuff?. |

I do, liked the 1st record alot. It's usually common for a 2nd record to be a rushed effort, looking forward to the 3rd, and if history is correct it should be very good. |

Their new record is in a completely different direction to their first two, the change of sound is very surprising. But saying that a change of sound isn't a bad thing, if they would've just stuck to knocking the same stuff out every album I might've become fed up with them.
I can send ya the Yousendit link to their new album if you want?. |

You're making me question my principles on stealing, although, if it sucks, i'll know now, and I'll buy it anyways if it's good...
post the link... I'm game. |

Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times (Their new record)...
http://www.mediafire.com/?4nm1iytdznj
You'll need winrar/winace to convert it to a regular file, which is really easy. I uploaded it myself as the Yousendit link has gone tits up.
For anyone who downloads it, Enjoy!. |

Mp3.
To be honest if you don't use windows I'm not sure if winrar/winace will run on your O/S.
I did try to upload the already coverted file but that wouldn't upload for some mad reason. |

I'll wait til I can buy the album, I'm not sure about .ace files, so i'm not going to worry. I'm working on a few torrents and getting my firewall issues worked out...
Thx for even mentioning this album coming out, i may have missed the news... |

I’m indifferent towards them. They are just okay in my opinion. There are some good tracks on both their albums, but they were never going to be a band to hold my attention. Red Morning Light was a great and is still a great track though. |

The Canadian band - Arcade Fire - are better. |

Arcade Fire are good. Albeit overhyped. But they're an art school band. Kings Of Leon are a rawk band. Its apples and orange vodka. |

Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire are more like vodka and schnapps! I liked KIL fine after hearing the first two albums, saw them live -- and then loved them. |

Yeah.. again.. I have to agree totally with Saint Sway! (truly we must be soul brothers??)
K.O.L. are fucking brilliant! I want to see them at the Astoria, uptown.. but.. the whole tour is sold out, except for in Plymouth. (plymouth!?!?)
I saw the Features upen up for them in Toronto a while back.. great show. you need to really listen to the quality of the guitar playing and sound.. its phenomonal!
cheers! |

I'm seeing them at the Astoria next week and then again at Hammersmith in April. KOL at Hammersmith 2005 is the best gig I've ever been to and saying that I've seen The Stones live twice, I honestly enjoyed KOL more even though the gulf in class and greatness between the two bands is obviously too huge to mention.

In all honestly I've never really given Arcade Fire a listen.
I quite like a Canadian band called Lions In The Street though, Here's their myspace...

Very dirty sound. Their slightly similar to KOL actually.
P.S - Pm for pdog.
