The Kings of Leon have announced that they will be launching their own record label.
The band will work in partnership with Los-Angeles based music publishing company Bug Music, and the Followills will sign and develop new artists with the company.
The first record to be released on the venture will be be 'Some Kind Of Salvation' by fellow Tennessee band The Features, who toured the UK and the US with Kings Of Leon in 2007.
Commenting on his partnership with Kings of Leon, CEO of Bug Music John Rudolph says, "Caleb, Jared, Matthew and Nathan [Followill] are extraordinary tastemakers and constantly absorbing new sounds from all over the world." He explains more, "The honesty in their music is what draws them to genuine artists. We are excited about developing new artists together as Bug Music continues to innovate and challenge the industry's traditional thinking of a publisher."
Further details of The Features' album release will be announced next week.
