Kings Of Leon Can't Understand What Glasvegas Are Singing

But they like them...

Kings Of Leon Can't Understand What Glasvegas Are Singing
  • Watch

Kings of Leon star Jared Followill has revealed that he is a big fan of Glasvegas – but says he finds it hard to understand what the Scottish band are singing.

In an interview with the New York Times, Followill called the group, whose self-titled debut album topped the charts earlier this year, “incredible”.

"They look like a band you stumble into in Nashville; they're playing rockabilly music, not like run-of-the-mill rock stars," he said.

“It reminds me of music we listened to when we were growing up, oldies like Tommy James And The Shondells.

“[Their album] has a beautiful old sound, the way they use so much reverb on the vocals and guitars.”

He added: "I can't always understand what he's [singer, James Allan] saying but the music they put behind it makes it really relevant. Somehow it makes sense."

Glasvegas played a special show at London's Union Chapel over the weekend as part of the Mencap Little Noise Sessions.
