Kings of Leon “Radioactive” single and pre-order news

Oh, how I used to like Kings of Leon before they were popular and “Use Somebody” came out.  How I remember what the lads were like when they played Cincinnati for the first time and how they were shy little Southern imps who were nervous about performing.   Man, how things have changed aside from any Elmer Fudd comparisons.  Those Looney Tunes meet U2 comparisons will always remain.    Now, they’re unavoidable teeny bop heart-throbs who just want to “yuuuuussssseeeeee somebody…” bleah.  If you’re hip to them then all the information you need and could ever want is below.

RCA Records is excited to announce that “Radioactive” will be the first single from Kings of Leon’s new album, Come Around Sundown. It is set to impact radio on September 13th, with the video premiering on kingsofleon.com and Vevo the week before (September 8th).

Come Around Sundown will be released on October 19th, but available for pre-order via iTunes starting September 14th. Fans who pre-order the record will receive “Radioactive” immediately as a free download.  The album will be available in two configurations – standard as well as a deluxe version that will include bonus tracks.
