Indie all stars The View have started a barney with Southern lords of rock ‘n’ roll Kings Of Leon, describing their new album ‘Only By The Night’ as “shite”.
The View are on the comeback trail, with new single ‘5 Rebeccas’ due out soon. Drummer Stephen Morrison was interviewed recently, and claimed that Kings Of Leon had gotten worse since frontman Caleb Followill had his hair cut.
“That new Kings Of Leon album is shite. As soon as he cut his hair or something, he can get to fuck,” he said. “It’s fuckin bollocks man, average.”
The View have finished recording their as yet un-titled second album with Owen Morris. The man responsible for helming the mixing desk for their acclaimed debut ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’, Morris has added muscle to the band’s sound. Clashmusic.com has heard the album and can confidently predict that its mature and assured songwriting will surprise many. Of course, The View’s party anthems are still in attendance as well.
There is no release date for The View’s new album.
