Kings of Leon Work on New Release

Published: 2006-12-28

After touring with U2 throughout 2005, Kings of Leon earned a spot opening for Bob Dylan and as of now are just wrapping up those dates. After their schedule clears up they will be getting ready to drop their third release.

Hailing from Tennessee the boys find themselves most successful across the ocean in Europe. But in the past two years the band has had their opportunity to introduce themselves to North America. Hype travels with this band like no other; they can count Mick Jagger, Chrissie Hynde and Jimmy Page as fans.

With their third release due out this Fall the band understand that with all this acclaimed success it is their turn to prove themselves worthy of it. Lead singer, Caleb Followill understands that now is their time to break big in America. He tries to put everything into perspective by "not thinking about it."

The majority of the album was recorded in Nashville and will be released this March carrying the title Because of the Times.
