Who would have thought the three sons of a pentecostal preacher (and their cousin) would become the new darlings of rock ? With an amazing energy, strong songs, the twangy voice of Caleb Followill and their intricately clever two-guitar parts, they have it all and already displayed it on their 2003 debut album Youth and Young Manhood. Since then, their music has evolved towards a poppier sound, with anthemic tunes and layered parts evoking U2.
