Kings of Leon, Only by the Night
Favourites on the charts this summer and gracing our Shores in the ’09, Kings of Leon popularity has shot through the roof to make them one of THE biggest bands this summer. It ain’t a bad CD either. Despite critiques about the more polished nature of the latest KOL venture, the hits keep coming, the songs keep blasting and the legends keep living.
