"God, the Devil and Kings of Leon"

Again a band from Nashville. Another family from Nashville. And they are playing alt. rock. WTF. They are sons of a preacher man playing the about sex drugs and revelry! And they have the coolest music in the world.

The first album by the band, Only by night, has some of the biggest hits of 2009. What makes them special. First it is the really unusual pitch of Caleb's drawl. He sings as if someone has taken him neck and is making him sing(or something of that sort, not at all open ordinary) Then it is their drums. They are using plain old fashioned drumming style, which almost is good enough as that Jimi Hendrix band. And the lyrics. They got real exquisite lyrical ability. Songs like sex on fire and revelry are words pulled up together by somebody who great imagination while in a joint.

I haven't heard more from them, but I am having their first album with me. And presently I am getting real fucked up and don't want to fucking write anymore. I won't need any bitching from anyone and I won't be giving any.
