Nashville, United States (1999 – present)
Kings of Leon is an American rock band that formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 1999, consisting of brothers Anthony “Caleb” Followill (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Ivan “Nathan” Followill (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Michael “Jared” Followill (bass guitar, backing vocals), with their cousin Cameron “Matthew” Followill (lead guitar, backing vocals). Each member of the family group is known by their middle name (second given name) as opposed to their first given name .
The band’s early music was an upbeat blend of southern rock and blues influences but the band has gradually expanded their sound to include a variety of genres, including alternative rock.
Kings of Leon achieved initial success in the United Kingdom with nine Top 40 singles, two BRIT Awards in 2008, and all three of the band’s albums at the time peaking in the top five of the UK Albums Chart. Their third album Because of the Times also reached the number one spot. After the release of Only by the Night in 2008 they finally achieved chart success in their native United States. The singles
Sex On Fire, Use Somebody and Notion peaked at number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks, while the album itself was their first ever platinum-selling album in the US.
Early years (1999–2002)
The three Followill brothers spent much of their youth traveling around the Southern United States with their father, Ivan “Leon” Followill, a traveling Pentecostal Church preacher and their mother, Betty-Ann, who taught them when they were not in school.

I'm no KoL fanboy by any means.. However, why do pretentious music snobs like bands that are unpopular, but as soon as they become popular, they spread all the hate in the world? If the band is good, of COURSE they will get popular. Listen to the band (any band for that matter) because they produce good music. Don't dislike them because of their popularity. Get over it!!

Because of the Times = utter awesomeness. Only by the Night = KoL slightly off form with only one or two songs to the standard of their last album but mysteriously more popular.

Pure rock, thanks to them for that, they were able to return at least a little gloss on the real rock scene. All their previous work is worth of praise, and songs such as, Closer, Frontier city, On Call, Charmer and others are simply brilliant, and easily such things can only perform Kings Of Leon.
