Neil Young once said that after you deliver a record company a record like his 70s mega-seller Harvest, ‘they’ll let you cum in their mouth’. Looks like Kings of Leon are applying this theory now that they’re out of their deal with Columbia. The boys, who are no strangers to copping a knee trembler night after night from starry eyed girls, have ditched their old label for a new deal with Warners according to London’s The Sun.

In a move that was sure to see label execs having their stomachs pumped Rod Stewart-style, the band has negotiated a lucrative deal in which they stump up half their recording costs in a move aimed to see their share of the profits in future increased. Not bad for a bunch of god bothering hicks with a knack for getting bogan chick’s undies very moist.

UPDATE 11.57am: Kings of Leon have used a twitter update to deny this. Gordon Smart at The Sun must be backpedalling again.
