Early years (1999–2002)

The three Followill brothers spent much of their youth traveling around the Southern United States with their father, Ivan "Leon" Followill, an itinerant United Pentecostal Church preacher and their mother, Betty-Ann, who taught them when they were not in school. Caleb and Jared were both born in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, while Nathan and Matthew were born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. According to Rolling Stone magazine, "While Leon preached at churches and tent revivals throughout the Deep South, the boys attended services and were occasionally enlisted to bang on some drums. They were either home-schooled or enrolled in small parochial schools at this time. Except for a five-year period when they settled in Jackson, Tennessee, the Followill's childhoods were spent driving through the south in a purple 1988 Oldsmobile, decamping for a week or two wherever Leon was scheduled to preach." When the boys' father resigned from the church and divorced his wife in 1997, the boys relocated to Nashville and embraced the rock music and lifestyle they had previously been denied. While there, they met songwriter Angelo Petraglia, who helped the siblings hone their songwriting skills and introduced them to the musical influences of the Rolling Stones, The Clash, and Thin Lizzy in particular. Six months later, Nathan and Caleb signed with RCA Records, who insisted that the duo recruit more members for "Kings of Leon" band before launching their career. Kings of Leon was formed when cousin Matthew and younger brother Jared were asked to join. They named themselves Kings of Leon in honor of Nathan, Caleb, and Jared's father (Matthew's uncle) and grandfather, who were both named Leon.
In an interview, Caleb admitted to "kidnapping" their cousin Matthew from his hometown in Mississippi in order for him to join the band “Kings of Leon”. They told his mother that he was just staying for a week, but they consequently never allowed him to return home. Drummer Nathan added, "When we signed the deal with RCA, it was just me and Caleb. The label told us they were going to put a band together, but we said, 'We're going to buy our little brother a bass, he's a freshman in high school. Caleb will teach himself the guitar. Our cousin Matthew played guitar when he was 10 and I'll play drums.' The record label agreed,".

Youth and Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak (2003–2005)

Kings of Leon's first record, the Holy Roller Novocaine EP was released on February 18, 2003. At this stage, Jared was only 16 years old and had not yet learned to play the bass guitar. The release of Holy Roller Novocaine gave the Kings of Leon a significant amount of exposure prior to the release of their debut album, Youth and Young Manhood, receiving a 4/5 star rating from Rolling Stone magazine. Four of the five songs would later be released on Youth and Young Manhood, however the versions of "Wasted Time" and "California Waiting" on the EP differ, with the first having a more tense riff and different vocal style than the same track off Youth and Young Manhood, and the latter being recorded in a rush to finish the record. The EP contains the B-side "Wicker Chair" while another track titled "Andrea", was discarded prior to its release. All the songs released on the EP were co-written by Angelo Petraglia who also produced the record.

Because of the Times (2006–2007)

In March 2006, Kings of Leon were back in the studio with their producers Angelo Petraglia and Ethan Johns, working on their third album. Guitarist Matthew told NME: "Man, we're sitting on a bunch of songs right now that we wish we could let the world hear". Kings of Leon's third album was titled Because of the Times, which may be a reference to a church ministers conference of the same name held at The Pentecostals of Alexandria church in Alexandria, Louisiana that the brothers often attended. The album showed a clear evolution from Kings of Leon's previous work, as the band's trademark dirty, southern-fried swagger was replaced with a more polished, clean-cut sound.
The album was released on April 2, 2007 in the UK, and a day later in the United States, preceded by the single "On Call", which became a hit in Britain and Ireland. It debuted at number one in Britain and Ireland and entered the European charts at number twenty-five, selling approximately 70,000 copies in its first week of release. NME said that the album "cements Kings of Leon as one of the great American bands of our times." and Entertainment Weekly called Because of the Times "an epic wide-screen movie of a CD and the Kings of Leon's best to date." However, some critics found the album inferior to their previous efforts. Stylus Magazine rated it a C- and noted "If they wanted us to take them serious this time around, they'd at least try to be right honest about their ascent into minor celebrity and not keep on with the yokel façade. Without cautionary yarns regarding life on the tour bus or banging supermodels, the bright-eyed, legs-stretched mood of the music rings just as hollow." Dave Hood of Artrocker gave the album one star out of five, finding that "Kings of Leon are experimenting, learning, and getting a bit lost." Pitchfork Media contended that "Because of the Times sound[s] suspiciously like a counterattack on womankind, launched from somewhere in the mid-1990s, deep inside a bruised, stadium-sized ego."

Only by the Night (2008–2009)

After recording throughout most of 2008, Kings of Leon "the all American long haired rockers" (The Times), released their fourth studio album Only by the Night on September 19, which subsequently entered the UK Albums Chart at number one and remained there for one more week. Only by the Night also had two single week stints as the UK #1 album in 2009, one directly after the BRIT Awards. In the United States, the album reached number 5 on the Billboard Charts.Reception to the album was the most polarized yet, with the British press granting the album glowing reviews. Q Magazine named Only by the Night "Album of the Year" for 2008. In the United States, reactions to the album were more mixed. Spin, Rolling Stone, and All Music Guide gave the album positive reviews, while Pitchfork Media gave the album a virtual equivalent of 2 stars. The album was officially named as the UK's third biggest selling album of 2008 and the biggest selling album of 2008 in Australia. "Sex on Fire" was the first single released for download in the UK on 8 September. The song became Kings of Leon's most successful ever as it peaked at number one in the UK and in Ireland. It was also Kings of Leon's first song to chart number one on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock chart. The second single to be released from the album on December 8, 2008 was "Use Somebody" which achieved worldwide chart success and consistency, such as peaking at number two in the UK Singles Chart, and also reaching top ten chart positions in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the United States. The album's popularity in Australia was confirmed with a total of four singles being voted into the world's largest online music poll, the "Triple J Hottest 100". The song "Crawl" came in at number 70, "Closer" was voted number 24 and "Use Somebody" finished number 3 in the poll. However, Kings of Leon biggest success from Only By The Night was "Sex on Fire" which was voted number 1 in the Hottest 100 poll for 2008 and number 90 in the Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time, 2009 poll. "Sex on Fire" also won the band a Grammy Award at the 51st Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 8, 2009. Kings of Leon won Best International Band and Best International Album at the Brit Awards in 2009, where Kings of Leon also performed "Use Somebody" live. Kings of Leon also performed on 14 March 2009 at Sound Relief, a benefit concert, for the Victorian Bushfire Crisis. The song "Crawl" from this album was released as a free download on the Kings of Leon's website on July 28. The third and fourth singles were "Revelry", which peaked at number 19 in New Zealand and "Notion", which peaked at number 24 in Belgian charts. Only By The Night was certified platinum in the United States by the RIAA for selling one million copies in less than a year after its release.

In 2009, Kings of Leon headlined a number of music festivals, including Reading & Leeds, Rock Werchter, Oxegen, T In The Park, Gurtenfestival and Open'er Festival in Europe, along with Sasquatch, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits in the United States. That same year, Kings of Leon won their first Grammy Award for the single "Sex on Fire", as well as two BRIT Awards for "Best International Group" and "Best International Album." The album Only by the Night also won an NME Award for "Album of the Year."

Latest projects; 2009 - present

Kings of Leon released its first DVD, Live at the O2 London, England, on November 10, 2009. It was later released on Blu-ray Disc on November 24, 2009.
The footage was filmed in London's O2 Arena on June 30, 2009, when the Kings of Leon performed a 22-song set in front of a sold-out crowd of over 18,000 fans. In an interview with Billboard.com drummer Nathan stated, "England is really the first place we broke (...) We figured what better place to make a live DVD than where the fans have been the craziest for the longest?" The show featured songs from all four of the band's albums, and Nathan continued by saying "we just put the cameras in the back of our minds and acted like they weren't even there." A remix album has also been announced by Kings of Leon, which apparently came to life after Kings of Leon learned that other artists had started working on revisions of the band's songs. Mark Ronson, Kenna, Justin Timberlake, Lykke Li with her cover of "Knocked Up", Pharrel Williams and Linkin Park among others, have been recruited by Kings of Leon and will be contributing to the album.
Furthermore, Rolling Stone has reported that Kings of Leon has also been sound-checking eight to ten new songs recently, and tentatively announced in an interview with NME that they will be releasing their follow up to Only by the Night later in 2010. Kings of Leon have an unreleased song, dubbed "The Devil's Song", "Lucifer", "Newcastle Devil's Song" or simply "New Song" by fans, which is often performed live.
On January 31st 2010, Kings of Leon took home the Grammy award for Record of the Year, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Rock Song for "Use Somebody" at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. In an interview with BBC Radio 1, Jared Followill stated that the band would probably start recording in March. He also hinted that they were looking at recording studio in New York City, and would probably be playing shows this summer.

Kings of Leon will be performing in front of a 50,000-strong crowd at the outdoor event on Wednesday, June 30. It will be Kings of Leon's largest ever show over here following their headline slot at Glastonbury in 2008 and an arena tour last year. Bassist Jared Followill said in a statement: "It's a great honour to be playing Hyde Park." "It's something that a band can only dream of; to be put in the same category as the groups that have played before us is just unbelievable. Bring sun block and your earplugs". All four of Kings of Leon's records have achieved multi-platinum success in the UK and earlier this month the band picked up three Grammy awards in the US.
