Kings of Leon and U2

Today I have some music by a rock band out of Tennessee. The Kings of Leon is a band that has done a great job of staying out of the spotlight despite their popularity. I for one have become such a big fan of their work for a few reasons. One, is that this is a band that doesn't mind experimenting, but they still have that solid rock sound that they claim as their own. There is something about rock music like this that I love. It isn't your stereotypical hard guitar work kind of sound, but one that is wholesome and includes a balance of all the instruments. The Kings of Leon create such incredible balances that you can help but be totally captured by the music. Which brings me to the second point. The Kings of Leon make music for us to understand and feel. Every song has a different vibe to it, but each album seems to have a common thread between all the songs. This album is one that has that atmospheric rock kind of sound, the kind of sound you get when you hear a live show. There are less individual intricacies and more of a story being told through the music as a whole. Third, there is such great energy to the music. I mean it's infectiously fun and exciting, while not being overly so. This song is one that is more energetic for the Kings of Leon, but there is still this ambient calm in the subtleties of the song. This is a rather famous song by the band, but a smaller number of people actually know the song which I find interesting. The Kings of Leon are special good at being under the radar and just creating. The music is their main priority and you hear that in every song. This is a band I could follow for a long time, and one that I would love to see live. Today's instrumental song is by one of the most classic bands ever, U2. Both of the bands today have styles that are similar, but still different enough to be unique. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
