“A lot of people say, ‘I bet you hate playing ‘Sex On Fire.’ And I’m like, ‘No, dude, that’s when I feel the most confident on stage,'” Followill shared. And members respect that, staying true to their roots and remembering how they got where they are. The band’s nod to the next generation is fitting considering Kings of Leon has been oft-cited as an inspiration for younger musicians around the Chicago area for the band’s folksy-yet-hard-rock twist on the alternative genre. “It’s a way to get instruments in kids’ hands and hopefully continue the tradition and allow them to do the things that we were allowed to do,” Followill said. And $1 of each ticket sold will benefit Inherit the Music, a foundation Kings of Leon started this year to help fund music education projects. This time, the Kings will be joined by indie rockers Cold War Kids. That stardom set them traveling around the globe, hitting Chicago several times in the last decade for both tours and Lollapalooza. Kings of Leon rocketed to international fame after the Grammy-winning tracks “Sex On Fire” and “Use Somebody” hit the charts in the late aughts. “When we play those songs it reminds you of why you’re able to play in some of these places and play in front of that many people. kings of leon Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire JW IK Re edit, Kings Of Leon - Pistol of Fire, Kings Of Leon - Sex on Fire Live. So we were able to give to Crew Nation through the NFT sales.” And it’s not like they could go be a bartender or a waiter or something because those places were closed, too. “We try to do right by our own crew, but tons and tons of other crews were just wiped out and had no work. “It meant a lot to us, after that year off and our crew being off,” he said.

(“Probably I can explain it about as well as you can,” Followill said, laughing.) But he did point out sales through that new technology enabled them to make donations to Crew Nation, a fund that benefits venue and tour crew members who were sidelined by the pandemic.

In addition to regular streaming and traditional sales, Kings of Leon’s release this past March was groundbreaking in the industry as the first full album sold as an NFT (non-fungible token), an electronic package of digital downloads and enhanced media that enabled the band to add value to the project.

“It was definitely a strange time, but we’re just kind of riding that wave with everybody else.” We had all this energy put into it and worked really hard on it, and then it all had to be shut off for a full year,” Followill said. “It’s been a strange time, especially because we had recorded an album and we were all so excited about it. Burned by leaks of some of their earlier albums, he said band members tend to be secretive about new releases. In addition to older fan favorites, Followill said he’s excited to share some of the new works from “When You See Yourself,” an album the band had been silent about since the end of 2019. But we’re trying to gauge the audience and see what they want to hear the most.” “I know that sounds obvious, but it would be easy for us to just go out there and play all the new songs and only the new songs because we’re most excited about them and we haven’t played them 1,000 times. We’re just trying to make a show that the audience loves,” he said. “It’s been so long and everybody has been so cooped up. Whether it’s a pop song, an indie rock banger, or an arena-ready anthem, Kings of Leon are seemingly delivering it all with WALLS, which drops in its entirety on October 14th.Now that they’re back on the road, Followill admits to taking it upon himself to check the stats to see what Kings of Leon fans have been streaming and buying. What stands out the most about what’s been heard from WALLS thus far is the diversity on each track, mostly thanks to the production work from the band’s new partner, Markus Dravs. The WALLS version ultimately packs a bigger punch with even crisper pop sensibilities, and with adventurous musicianship and catchy hooks galore, “Around the World” becomes one of the most accessible songs that Kings of Leon have ever written. “Around the World” has already existed in a live setting when the band played it last month on Later … With Jools Holland, but they breathe new life into it with its studio version. Recently, the band gave everyone another taste of what’s to come in the form of the song “Around the World.”

The title makes a lot more sense in context with the album’s musical content, which we’ve been able to hear a couple songs from already. Though the record is called WALLS, the band isn’t necessarily referring to what divides a room – it’s actually an acronym for We Are Like Love Songs. On the surface, Kings of Leon’s new album title may seem a little bland, but it’s really more intricate than you think.
