Kings of Leon are a southern rock group based in Nashville featuring three brothers: Nathan, Jared and Caleb Followill along with their cousin, Matthew Followill. The name Leon comes from their paternal grandfather. Some have called the band Lynyrd Skynyrd for the 21st century. They've also drawn comparisons to Creedence Clearwater Revival.
