These Cinemax-quality lyrics are sung in the anguished tone of radio-friendly modern rock over some pretty excellent guitar riffs. It's a recipe that works, at least commercially; a year after the release of their fourth album, Only by the Night, Kings of Leon have chugged past the million-sales mark and boast the No. 1 song on Top 40 radio ("Use Somebody"). They also have the best bandcreation story in memory. These facts are not unrelated...

Nearly starved by crop failures in their native Smaland, Karl-Oskar and his brother Robert (Kevin Oderkirk, who earned vigorous shouts with each of his numbers) resolve to leave the land their ancestors have farmed for a thousand years and go to America. Despite Kristina's severe reservations, that's what they do, accompanied...
