With their long hair and tight tees, the Nashville rockers looked like they’d been cryogenically frozen from the 1970s and dropped into the new century. They seemed to be something out of a bygone era themselves with a backstory almost too tantalizing to be swallowed as gospel truth.ĭrummer Nathan, Caleb and Jared Followill are the sons of a Pentecostal preacher from the American Deep South, who enlisted their cousin, Matthew Followill, to play lead guitar. It’s certainly a different world to the one Kings of Leon greeted with their boisterous debut, “Youth and Young Manhood,” in 2003. In this day and age, I wish it didn’t have to. That isn’t something that came into our minds at all. “I don’t think any of us realized that this album didn’t have many songs that would fit the radio format. “The longer you’re doing this, the more you want to take things as far as you feel like they should go,” Caleb observes. But no such concerns influenced the music the band recorded. “When You See Yourself” has become the first release by a major rock band to be offered as an ‘NFT’ (Non-Fungible Token) - a form of non-duplicable digital token that denotes rights of ownership of the artist’s work to the purchaser.
