It's funny how here in the UK the luck of this four-piece act from Nashville has grown like a rolling snowball, from indie darlings to festival headliners; meanwhile, they have been rather ignored by American audiences. Their update on the old-fashioned southern rock clichés gets more and more compact with every effort. "Sex On Fire" has just stormed to the top of the British charts, anticipating the release of their fourth opus, "One by the night," set to be one of the strongest albums from here to Christmas this side of the Atlantic; many critics salute it as Kings Of Leon's final step towards stadium rock. From a lyrical point of view this may not be the best song they've ever written, but Caleb Followill's rugged vocals, one of the band's best assets, sound strong and reassured in this all-conquering sexual exaltation.
