Nathan Followill, the drummer with sexy Tennessee rockers Kings Of Leon, have revealed the band are hard at work on new tracks, and say they’ve been influenced by a wide variety of artists. 

According to the “Sex On Fire” muso, the follow-up to Only By The Night will feature songs “all over the place”.

“I call it ‘Aha Shake ...’ but by guys that are a little grown-up and a little better at their instruments,” he says. “There’s stuff that sounds like Radiohead. There’s stuff that sounds like Thin Lizzy. There’s stuff that sounds like The Band. We’re pretty much to the point now where ... we can be experimental and try stuff we would’ve been scared to death to try on the first couple of records. Now we find ourselves being a little more adventurous.”

Before a new album can be released, however, there’s a remix LP in the works for late 2009. Kings Of Leon favourites are being remixed by a variety of different artists, including: Justin Timberlake, Mark Ronson, Pharrell Williams, Kenna, Linkin Park and Lykke Li.
