Kings of Leon announce 'When You See Yourself'

Album is due March 5th

Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum selling rock band Kings of Leon officially announces the release of their highly anticipated eighth studio album When You See Yourself coming to CD and 2 LP on March 5th on RCA Records. Lead single, “The Bandit” is available now with an accompanying music video that sets the sonic and visual tone for the album. The band has also made a second track, “100,000 People” available as well. Recorded at Nashville’s famed Blackbird Studios and produced by Grammy Award-winning Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Coldplay, Florence + the Machine) the album propels Kings of Leon into 2021 with a modern evolution of their sound.

The album, which comes four years after their first-ever No. 1 U.S. album debut, Walls, has been teased in various formats over the past few weeks. The band even began announcing the album directly through their fans with a special t-shirt mailer revealing album tracks and lyrics, using the moment to raise awareness and money for Live Nation’s Crew Nation relief fund for live music crews.

The band has launched their new merch line available for order through kingsofleon.com. The line will include a limited edition run of the “Hero T-Shirt” that fans can purchase for their chance to receive the final one of a kind t-shirt with full lyrics to the new single, “The Bandit.” The band will donate 100% of “Hero T-Shirt” purchase proceeds to Live Nation’s Crew Nation relief fund for live music crews. The t-shirts will be available for one week only, ending January 15th.
