Kings of Leon Vinyl Records
Initially embraced as "the Southern Strokes" for their resurrection and reinvention of Dixie-styled rock & roll, Kings of Leon steadily morphed into an adventurous arena rock outfit during the 2000s, eventually achieving a blockbuster breakthrough with 2008's Only by the Night, an album that generated the international hits "Sex on Fire" and "Use Somebody." Sleek and anthemic, this pair of hits contrasted with the quartet's earliest records, such as their 2003 debut Youth & Young Manhood and 2004's Aha Shake Heartbreak, which were steeped in retro sounds accompanied by shaggy retro looks.
