Kings Of Leon ProfileA new Kings Of Leon track from their forthcoming LP Mechanical Bull has been released today, with Supersoaker showing the band are back at their jangly, catchy best with the unmistakable gruff vocal of Caleb Followill packing plenty of punch up the front.
Listen to it here:
You can get the single on iTunes right now.
But not everyone is so thrilled about the song's release. Nathan Williams of Wavves, who are in Australian really, really soon, doesn't seem too happy that the band's song shares a title with one of his own.
Wait kings of leon just released a single called 'super soaker'??

He then tries to reach the band, but figures it's futile.
"Hey @KingsOfLeon you'll never read this bc u pay someone to maintain yr twitter but i just wanted to say u suck," he tweeted.
After a fan challenges Williams, saying he had previously spoken out against making fun of bands, he says Kings Of Leon had “blatently ripped [him] off”.
@Kacie_Dev im not making fun of them im stating that they blatantly ripped me off there is a BIG difference

Wavves plays Splendour In The Grass and a few sideshows with Unknown Mortal Orchestra over the next couple of weeks. Kings Of Leon's new LP is out in September.
