 Kings Of Leon Holy Roller Novocaine
| | With monotone vocals and broke down guitars, Kings of Leon offer true Stones fans a respite from all that fashionable stuff spurting out of NYC. Their dirty-faced stepchild of Tom Petty's heartland rock incorporates enough greasy Garage Rock elements to thrill anyone jaded by the state of rock 'n' roll in 2003.
Four long-haired hotties from Nashville, these three brothers and their cousin play Southern boogie with a garage-rock twist on this debut EP. If the Strokes played Skynyrd songs, it might sound a bit like "Molly's Chambers" or "Wasted Time." It adds up to five songs and not a weak moment among them. (From RS 919, April 3, 2003)
