Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill: "We really dug into the post-punk of IDLES and Fontaines DC"

Kings of Leon’s Caleb Followill joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Can We Please Have Fun , the ninth studio album from the Tennessee band. The frontman shares insights about embracing the idea of home and how the book The Artist’s Way led to creative inspiration 📚. He also credits the post-punk sounds of Idles and Fontaines DC for influencing the new album’s direction 🎸.

Followill goes on to discuss why the band chose to distance themselves from their 20th anniversary celebrations, instead looking towards albums like U2’s All That You Can’t Leave Behind as a guide 🎶. And what's that? He also reveals a dream of creating a rock version of The Avengers with legendary bands like Pearl Jam and Blink-182 🤘.
