About Kings of Leon
The Kings of Leon was formed in 2000 after brothers Jared, Caleb, Nathan, and cousin Matthew moved to Nashville in order pursue a career. The three brothers had spent their childhoods moving from town to town in the South with their parents. Their father, Leon, was traveling preacher for the United Pentecostal Church, and the brothers were largely home-schooled due to constantly moving. However, the family did at one point spend five years in Jackson, Tennessee. Forbidden to listen to secular music, the brothers did not find their musical influences until they moved to Nashville, where they met songwriter and producer Angelo Petraglia. Along with the addition of Jared (who had spent a brief time in public school) and Matthew, the band found a life in rock music.
The Kings of Leon released their first EP, Holy Roller Novacaine in February 2003. The success of EP brought the Kings to the attention of rock fans everywhere, but particularly in Europe. The Kings of Leon's first studio album, Youth and Young Manhood catapulted the quartet into stardom in Europe, but the album did not see as much success in the United States. Following the release of the album, the Kings of Leon toured with U2 and The Strokes.
The Kings of Leon released their next album, Aha Shake Heartbreak, in October 2004 in the UK and February 2005 in the U.S. This second album continued the trend of expanding the Kings' fanbase. The album came in at #3 in the UK, and #55 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The Kings of Leon spent a long stretch after the release of Heartbreak touring with Pearl Jam and Bob Dylan. In March 2006, the band started work on their third album, and in April 2007 released Because of the Times. For the first time, the Kings saw widespread U.S. success, charting at #25 and selling 70,000 copies in the first week. The album reached #1 in the UK.
The Kings of Leon is hoping to continue the pattern of domestic success with their next album, Only By The Night, which will be released on September 19th. The Kings have cited artists such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young, as well as their own upbringing, as influences in their music. As well as touring with U2 and The Strokes, the Kings have gotten praise from bands and artists such as Bryan Adams, Noel Gallagher of Oasis, Radiohead, and Bob Dylan
