I have to say that I’m pretty pissed at Kings Of Leon at the moment.
I guess these days there are a shitload of people who say they’ve been a KOL fan from the start but actually haven’t, however I have. I remember when I lived back in Edinburgh there was a lot of buzz around them before their debut album was released and I never really paid them much attention, that was until my younger brother bought the album when it came out and I listened to it with him. I fucking loved it, and have loved the band since, including their last album “Only By The Night” which a lot of “old” KOL fans apparently hated, or stopped listening to them because of it.
The reason I’m pissed is that myself and a buddy from work were supposed to be seeing them, The Black Keys, and The Whigs, play at Hershey Park tonight and they only went and cancelled the show last week, ten days before it was supposed to happen due to a “scheduling conflict”. Well that ain’t true, it was because they didn’t sell enough tickets. Isn’t that a pile of shite? So yeah, I’m pretty pissed at them but hopefully the new album will remedy that, however I have a feeling it won’t.
Here’s the first listen of the first song from their upcoming fifth album “Come Around Sundown”, set for release on October 19th (unless of course there aren’t enough people interested in buying it then they might just not bother). I literally stayed up all night to hear and rip this as it was being premiered all over Australian radio before anywhere else (7am EST, 9pm AEST).
