Alternative rock meets Southern blues; The Kings of Leon have been deemed comparable to rock legends of the past by Rolling Stone magazine. 

It’s hard to believe that the band members were prohibited to listen to secular music while growing up. The brothers, Nathan Followill (drums), Caleb Followill (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), and Jared Followill (bass) along with their cousin Matthew Followill (lead guitar) make up the American rock band, Kings of Leon. The brothers Nathan, Caleb, and Jared had a non-traditional childhood, they traveled across the South with their mother and father Leon, which the group is named after. Their father was a Pentecostal preacher who spoke at various churches and tent revivals, while their mother homeschooled the boys.
