Spreading Apostolic Truth & Reaching Souls All Over the World

Band of Backsliders Stakes Out International Territory

The Kings of Leon have enjoyed great popularity in the UK and Europe, but they now seem to be penetrating the US market. The band, which consists of brothers Nathan, Caleb, and Jared Followill, along with first cousin, Matthew Followill, have a Pentecostal past. The brothers’ father, Leon, was a UPCI evangelist, and the family grew up travelling and singing. Their father and grandfather bore the name Leon.

Today, they have taken their musical gift well outside the walls o the Church. Some of their songs “Sex on Fire” and “Holy Roller Novocaine” demonstrate their distance from their Apostolic heritage. Telling lyrics of the latter song are: “Lord’s gonna get us back, I know, I know.” A recent album was entitled “Because of the Times,” named for the annual ministers’ conference in Alexandria, Louisiana.

In December, the group were nominated for three Grammy awards. Please remember these young men in prayer.
