Seemingly addicted to write again, rock band Kings of Leon is accumulating materials for fourth album. They had just released third album "Because of the Times" on April 3, 2007.
Vocalist Caleb Followill said that tunes are already available but lyrics are not there yet. "I'm writing stuff right now, but I'm trying not to write the lyrics because as soon as they' lyrics are written we're going to want to play it. Our record's (Because Of The Times) been finished for about a year and we've been sitting her twiddling our thumbs waiting for the label to put it out, so we're ready to continue on writing songs."
