In early 2008, frontman Caleb Followill confirmed to UK magazine NME that the band is working on tracks for the fourth album. In an interview Jared (the band’s bassist) said the next album will “rock harder”, and that they are “ready to tackle their southern roots…again.” Recording began in February 2008, when the band completed its 2007 tour. The album was produced by Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King.[citation needed]
In the June 2008 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, Caleb discussed how he believes his pain medication (which he took after a fistfight with brother Nathan) inspired him to write some of the “most beautiful” songs, so much that he’s claimed he is “proud track-by-track.” Caleb also cited little known Royston Vasie as the next up and comers and most likely to support them on their Australasian tours. The band have already debuted three new songs entitled “Crawl”, “Sex on Fire” and “Manhattan”, which can all be found on Youtube. Other titles to emerge include “Closer”, “Use Somebody”, “Revelry”, “17″, “Notion”, “I Want You”, “Be Somebody” and “Cold Desert”.
They have announced that they will be touring Ireland and Great Britain with their new album material in December 2008. This is following headline sets at T In The Park in Perth and Kinross, Scotland and Oxegen Festival in Co. Kildare Ireland in July, V Festival in mid-August and the set they performed headlining the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2008. In September 2008, they performed on the BBC2 TV show Later with Jools Holland.
The song “Crawl” from this album was released as a free download on the bands website on July 28th. On August 5, 2008 the first single “Sex on Fire” was being released on their MySpace page and subsequently released to radio.[citation needed] Sex on Fire was then released as a single to download in the UK on the 8th September achieving their first top ten hit and first British number 1.
On Saturday, September 20, Kings of Leon performed on Saturday Night Live. They performed two songs from their latest album, “Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody.” Three nights later they again performed on The Late Show with David Letterman.
Kings Of Leon are now one of the best known bands in Britain and since the release of Because Of The Times and Only By The Night they have rose tremendously in popularity.
