The Kings of Leon came from America's deep south in 2003 and made an impact on the British music scene that was more immediate and long-lasting than any other new band in years. They embarked on a sex, drug and booze-fuelled rampage through the London music and fashion scene, never afraid to reveal all to the press and somehow surviving to tell the tale. Seven years after their unprecedented arrival in the UK, they are finally making a name for themselves overseas, thanks to a series of hit albums and singles (peaking with 2008's anthemic 'Sex On Fire') and a headline slot at Glastonbury in 2008 and at Reading in 2009. Joel McIver's new book, the first ever Kings of Leon biography, digs deep into their history to reveal a band like no other.
