Kings Of Leon Praise Glasvegas

Kings Of Leon star Jared Followill has revealed in a new interview that he loves Scottish rockers Glasvegas, but admits that he could barely understand frontman James Allan's accent.,

The Glasgow group have had a stunningly successful year, playing to ecstatic crowds and engaging American legends Metallica in a chart battle. Sure, they lost, but we love them anyway.

Jared Followill told the New York Times that the Scottish band blew him away. "I saw them in concert, and they're just incredible," he said. "They look like a band you stumble into in Nashville; they're playing rockabilly music, not like run-of-the-mill rock stars."

The band are known for a 50s biker gang style image - imagine the Jesus And Mary Chain crossed with Francie And Josie.

Followill continued "It reminds me of music we listened to when we were growing up, oldies like Tommy James And The Shondells. (The album) has a beautiful old sound, the way they use so much reverb on the vocals and guitars. I can't always understand what he's (James Allan) saying but the music they put behind it makes it really relevant. Somehow it makes sense."
