Kings of Leon inspired by John Travolta!

Kings of Leon talk about the influences behind the name of their new album... it's not what we'd expect.

If you’re a big Kings of Leon fan and have an NME magazine subscription then we’re sure that you’ll be interested in the band’s latest interview.

Nathan Followill spoke about their latest album and the inspiration behind the name and it turns out that John Travolta’s film Urban Cowboy lent a helping hand in the thought process.

"We were so early in on the process of it, we had narrowed it down to three names, and 'Mechanical Bull' won out,” Nathan said. “I know we watched a lot of Urban Cowboy during the making of this record, so that definitely probably had something to do with it."
