And to whet our appetites, the band shared the EP’s artwork alongside a brief clip of new music. The teaser featured a chugging guitar riff with Caleb Followill’s distinctive voice singing, “All aboard”. If that doesn’t get your foot tapping, I don’t know what will!

Sneak Peek Into the Studio Life

Before this announcement, Kings Of Leon had been dropping little hints on Instagram. Shots of the band huddled in the studio, clearly pouring their hearts into new music, had us all buzzing. One particularly memorable post from November 4 came with a caption that felt so real: “Thrills to chase, bills to pay, mouths to feed.”

Anyone who’s followed Kings Of Leon knows they don’t take their music lightly, and seeing them back in the groove was like a warm hug for longtime listeners.

Here are some snapshots from their recent studio sessions:

These glimpses remind us that behind every smooth riff and catchy chorus is a band that’s working hard, crafting every note with care.

Looking Back: The Journey to EP#2

This new EP arrives on the heels of their 2024 full-length album, Can We Please Have Fun, their ninth studio record. That album marked an interesting chapter for the band—a blend of returning to their rugged roots while trying to shake off some of the restraint that had crept into their sound over the years.

Critics gave Can We Please Have Fun a solid three-star rating, praising it as “KOL’s most promising, liberated record for over a decade but still surprisingly restrained in places." It seemed like the band was toying with the idea of fun while still holding back just enough to keep listeners guessing.

Caleb Followill opened up about the album’s inspiration, sharing a down-to-earth insight that many fans resonated with. He said, “With this record, I was like: ‘Alright, big boy, it’s time to be a songwriter… I wanted people to feel the passion that went into [this album] and the honest, blue-collar hard work. We live in Music City, where the man next to you in the grocery store could be wearin’ overalls and you have no idea that he wrote the biggest country song in history.”

Recent Collaborations and Challenges

In August, Kings Of Leon surprised fans with the single We’re Onto Something, featuring the evocative vocals of Zach Bryan. This collaboration added a fresh twist and showed the band’s willingness to explore new territory while staying true to their roots.

It was a summer of creative partnerships, as the band had also contributed to Bryan’s track Bowery earlier that season. These musical friendships breathe new life into their sound and keep things exciting.

However, 2024 also tested the band’s resilience. Caleb Followill suffered a "freak accident" that forced them to cancel several UK and European dates. He broke his foot while playing with his kids—ouch! Thankfully, they made a triumphant return to the stage in July, much to the delight of fans worldwide.

Why EP#2 Matters

In the vast landscape of rock, Kings Of Leon have always been a band that balances grit with melody—rocking out with heartfelt storytelling. EP#2 is more than just four songs; it’s a glimpse into their evolving artistry. For those of us who have followed their journey, from the dusty guitars of their early days to the polished yet passionate tracks of today, this release is a must-listen.

It’s a reminder that even after years in the game, Kings Of Leon still have plenty of fires burning under the surface—ready to light up our playlists.
