Driven by a raw, chugging riff and pounding, relentless drums, this song is dripping with energy. &#8220;Low Twang&#8221; showcases the duo&#8217;s ability to find a repetitive, blues-inspired groove and then kick the distortion into overdrive, delivering an aggressive yet infectious sound that feels like a cross between The Black Keys and a classic Buddy Guy jam. It\u2019s a track that demands to be played loudly and adds a vital shot of intensity to any playlist.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Kings of Leon \u2013 &#8220;To Space&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kings of Leon - To Space (Visualizer)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lb2BnpVUxEE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Kings of Leon continue to refine their distinctive brand of arena rock with their new track, &#8220;To Space.&#8221; Featuring the magnetic vocals of Caleb Followill, the song leans into the band&#8217;s capability for grand, sweeping soundscapes.

The song&#8217;s narrative is centered on Jon Bon Jovi&#8217;s recent experience of buying back the instrument he owned as a child, using it as a vehicle for looking back at his origins. With a laid-back tempo and prominent guitar work, the track often personifies the instrument, describing it in terms of long-term companionship and respect. It&#8217;s a sentimental addition to their catalog that celebrates the enduring, foundational role music has played in the singer&#8217;s life.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Hollerado \u2013 &#8220;What Killed Elvis Presley&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hollerado - What Killed Elvis Presley?

This track is classic, hook-laden Hollerado, featuring infectious melodies and a powerful pop sensibility wrapped in slightly rowdy, slacker rock energy. Lyrically, the song carries a wistful, cynical edge, declaring the relatable sentiment, &#8220;Hope I don&#8217;t catch the American dream.&#8221; It is a fast-paced, catchy song with high energy, demonstrating that the band&#8217;s knack for creating compelling, guitar-driven indie-pop remains perfectly intact as they wrestle with the absurdities of life and middle age.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:18.0pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">And that\u2019s your New Music Monday rundown.
