Kings of Leon say they were willing to get political on their new album because it is no longer "cool".
Frontman Caleb Followfill claimed a lot of bands give their opinion on political issues in order to boost their careers.
He told XFM radio: "The older you get, the more you realise that you have to take a stand and have to believe in something and I think we're on the right path. I just think we're a little more political at this point."
"For a while it was the cool thing for American bands to do. A lot of people revived their careers that way.
"We let that pass over and now we can actually write or sing about something if we have a belief about it and we're doing it on our terms and not because it's the cool thing to do."
When asked what political issues the group touched on, the singer said: "Truth is, Bush is still in there, the war is still going on."
Kings of Leon's next album, 'Only By The Night', is due to be released on September 22.
