The teaser offered above is in the form of an instrumental with some toned-down bass riff and a fragment of vocals but with no discernible lyrics, leaving us all in wonder. Frontman Caleb Followill announced the new track towards the end of the set, and this will mark their first new music since their 2021 LP When You See Yourself.  The band who are currently on tour in Mexico, Columbia, and Brazil this March and tickets are available at Songkick.

Kings Of Leon is a band that was formed in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1999. The band comprises brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill. Their early music was a blend of Southern/Garage rock with blues influences but has since evolved to include a variety of genres, creating a more alternative rock-based sound. They achieved success with nine Top Forty Singles and won two Brit Awards in 2008, and all three of the band’s albums, at the time, reached the top five of the UK Album Charts. And their third album, Because of the Times, reached number one. The release of Only by the Night in September of 2008 garnered them chart success in the United States, and the singles Sex on Fire, Use Somebody, and Notion all peaked at number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.

The new track Mustang will be released this Thursday. So if you are looking to use somebody to cheer you up, then tune in on Thursday to check out the new music. At this point, one can only speculate, but there is always they hope that a new album will follow along with, hopefully, a UK or European tour.

The dates follow last year’s Kings Of Leon’s UK arena tour, which included two shows at London’s O2 and is marked as the band’s first UK performances since headlining Reading and Leeds in 2018. The general sale release for tickets will go out on Friday 3 March starting at 9 am. Further information regarding dates and purchase of tickets will be found here. The band released their last album, When You See Yourself, in March 2021.

A four-star review of When You See Yourself from NME wrote, “When You See Yourself see the Kings marry their interests old and new, finally embracing the mature, laid-back versions of themselves. As Caleb says, the pouty bad boys of yesteryear are long gone. It makes sense when you consider the band’s chronology: it was their fourth album, the moody Only By The Night that things skyrocketed for Kings Of Leon, with ubiquitous hits “Sex On Fire” and “Use Somebody” finally connecting with fans in the US. Now with record eight, they’ve bottled everything learned on the road in the three (slightly more underwhelming) albums since, while still reconnecting with the best parts of what made the world love these boisterous, unruly rockers in the first place.”

Ever since their debut in 2003, Kings Of Leon, Caleb (guitar/vocals), Nathan (drums), Jared (bass) and Matthew Followill (guitar) continue to thrive as a band with eight released studio albums: Youth And Young Manhood (2003), Aha Shake Heartbreak (2004), Because Of The Times (2007), Only By The Night (2008), Come Around Sundown (2010), Mechanical Bull (2013), WALLS (2016) and When You See Yourself (2021). Over 20 million albums have been sold and 40 million singles worldwide.

Quite noticeable for their blues riffs and enigmatic slurred vocals of their debut, nobody’s minds would have crossed the Kings as future arena-packing hitmakers. The brother and cousin bond continues to shape them throughout their journey and later metamorphosed from the Bayou Strokes to iconic Platinum chart-toppers.
