During their breakout year in 2008, when they debuted mega-hits “Sex on Fire” and “Use Somebody,” the Kings of Leon took home a Grammy for their sound that blended huge, affected guitar riffs, a brooding aesthetic and the hoarse, twangy vocals of lead singer Caleb Followill. They took a brief hiatus after Caleb left the stage during a show to “vomit,” then released an album in 2016 that retained and expanded upon their most popular power-pop-rock sensibilities, most notably with the lead single, “Waste a Moment.” The Kings of Leon may no longer rule the airwaves, but if you like what they did, you’ll like what they’re doing.
