Likely Looks: Kings Of Leon - Radioactive

Say what you want about Kings Of Leon but somehow since the release of 2008's Only By The Night the band keeps coming back with hit after hit.

Their latest single, Radioactive is off their brand new album Come Around Sundown out October 19th and once again they recorded a smash.

Everything in this video screams Kings Of Leon...from the sepia tones to the Southern setting and of course the brilliant song.

Right now, Kings Of Leon is basically unstoppable and I'd gladly like to see this train keep moving for a longggggg time

Check out the video for Radioactive here:

King Of Leon's New Video - On Call

You know, I didn't love "On Call" when I first heard it but now I'm addicted. I played it first thing in the office this morning and I was quite excited to see that there is a video for the track.

Here it is:


Doesn't the guitar solo portion of the video sort of remind you of Enter Sandman though?
