All Points West | Kings Of Leon Establish Sonic Monarchy, Son-archy?
The Followill clan certainly took no time to get the crowd up and rocking. From the moment they took the stage, in front of them assembled the largest crowd of the day yet here in front of the main stage. Playing songs like Sex on Fire from their recent release, Only by The Night (2008) as well as favorites from previous records, one easily hear how the band's touring & popularity have begun to mature their sound. What's developing in place of the wide-eyed southern boy rock (and the southern rock part hasn't changed at all, just the wide-eyed part) is a depth of emotion & experience that seems to belong to established southern acts like Drive-by Truckers & Clutch, and just as powerfully driving.
It seems like a perfect afternoon here in Liberty state Park, and The Kings may just be the perfect band to walk this whole festival into the dusk... Video after the jump.

boo hiss. someone tell this bonjovi ripoff from hillbillyland that they're awful. and thom york's dedication to them seemed like a veiled swipe - radiohead has to know kings of leon sound like crap.
You're calling Nashville 'hillbillyland'? Are you retarded? There would be no Pixies if it weren't for TN, therefore no Radiohead. You've probably never been east of the Rockies.
But yes, I fucking hate Kings of Leon. That "Sex on Fire" song sounds like something that would've come out in the early to mid nineties riding on the coat tails of grunge. We've officially run out of decades to start ripping off -- in twenty years where are the mimick machines (radio bands) going to turn?
