The outspoken frontman, who recently had similar scathing words for U2, told Clickmusic.com he would ‘advise them to split up’, and claimed he would rather listen to Britney Spears records.
“I would advise them to split up and stop making music,” he said. “I don’t think they’re really helping anybody – they’ve never made a song that’s really touched me in any way. I honestly think that the new Britney Spears record is better than their songs – it sounds like a really great pop song and that’s what I really like.”
“They’re very American bar rock and it’s not interesting, it doesn’t affect me at all. That ‘Sex On Fire’ song is one of the worst songs I’ve heard in my life.”
The Drums released second album ‘Portamento‘ to mixed reviews on September 4th.
I agree with the Drums frontman (whoever he is ?) and would like to also suggest that somebody beats up the members of KOL and I am stuck in the States and forced to listen to these losers all to often……
Well at least this hipster band doesn’t have to worry about running into them at the grammys. Just because they didn’t connect to KOL’s music doesn’t mean that KOL sucks. Better than spears? What a f-king joke
I had never heard of The Drums before this shocking comment by their outspoken frontman.
who the f**k are you? twat.
you woudn’t sell out the kings dressing room.
I fucking LOVE Kings of Leon, and everyone is allowed to have their own opinions, you know different stokes for different folks, but if a song and a band gets you that heated you need to go to anger management. That statement is REDIC.
I smell the ironic scent of a hipster, with a hint of desperation and bottom notes of famewhore.
“Look at me Mummy, I can slander other artists to get mentioned in passing on a website”
u look and sound like elder version of Justin bieber..
Holy crap I hate fucking hate douches like this. Just cause you can’t make it big don’t be pissed at bands that have. Grow up.
