Download King's of Leon's new single for free!

July 29th 2008 11:38

Internet file sharing is the best thing to ever happen for the music industry. There is not an easier/cheaper way to hype up a band, or get a song out there, than through the internet. The popularity of a genre like indie is completely built up on this very premise - one day that band featured on myspace were just a bunch of extremely young looking, messy haired teens and the next thing you know the band is hand picked to support acts like the Arctic Monkeys and the lead singer is on the cover of the Good Weekend. The record industry however, is the titanic, except we don't really feel sorry for the Captain who instead of going down with dignity, is making his crew walk the plank and stealing their salaries. I imagine he would also be hoarding Rose's picassos, which in this version look remarkably like 'long lost' Beatles vinyls, before comfortably sailing away from the crash in a luminous white getaway jet named the iboat which lights up when you hold the engine.

Anyway, Kings of Leon is the latest band to jump on the lets give singles away for free and stick it to Sony BMG, bandwagon. Their new single 'Crawl' is contemporary blues rock at its best, and Kings of Leon should be praised for their ability to turn a very old genre into timeless, alternative rock genius. Caleb Followill's perfectly raspy rock god voice makes an angry lyric strangely relaxed and croony, and never fear a killer guitar solo is included. Simple guitar riffs burst intermittently between sprawling, lingering, dragging vocals by Caleb - 'they want to see us crawl'. Enjoy it - it's free!
