Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill has revealed he and his brothers are considering solo projects.
The singer – launching his band’s new warts-and-all documentary – said they each had to put their own ideas on the “back-burner” when they recorded together as a group.
But he said they may see the light of day as solo material from members of the Sex On Fire rockers.
The group – brothers Caleb, Nathan, Jared and cousin Matthew Followill – have a famously fiery relationship which can be seen in new the film Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon.
The film, receiving its European premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on Saturday, shows them fighting and arguing as it traces how they have changed after finding international fame.
The band admitted even they were shocked and embarrassed by some of the things they saw in the film.
Nathan said: “It shows us probably acting the way that would never want themselves to be seen.
“And it would have been very easy for us to candy-coat this and make us seem super cool all the time, and nothing ever gets to us and we never fight and it’s just good times and partying and hunky dory, and this shows us the opposite.
“It shows us fighting and the alcohol face and bloated and puking from too much partying and Jared with a girl 12 years older than him on tour.
“It shows us being us, not at our best and not scared for people to see that.”
Caleb said he and drummer Nathan’s musical tastes were very different to their bandmates.
He said: “So when you get in there (the studio) sometimes you just throw it all away and say ‘Alright, well let’s make this music together’.
“And the things that you love that you’ve been working on, sometimes you have to put it on the back burner and you just know that one day it will be heard, but it might not be Kings of Leon that’ll be putting it out.
“It might be some up-and-coming singer or it might be us individually doing a project. You never know.”
Nathan said the band may take longer than usual to release their next album. He said: “Matt has a baby now so I think the break between this tour and the next record might be a little longer than previous ones.”
The US band played London’s Hyde Park on Tuesday and yesterday before performing at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh after the premiere of the new film.
