Milk to be the Next Single? 03/08/05

In a recent interview Jared told NME that the band really want to release Milk as the next single from Aha Shake Heartbreak:

“We thought about releasing ‘Milk’ as a single, but no one wants us to. So we’re trying to think of a video concept. I kind of have a vision of like an alien leaving earth, a really sad alien, and if anybody rips that video off, I’ll fucking kill ‘em.”

He also revealed that a third Kings of Leon record could be on the way soon:

“We’ve written a shitload right now,” he said. “We may go into the studio in November but we’re writing so much every day. We’ve probably got at least seven or eight songs. We’re really confident and I feel like we write the best song every fucking day. This is kind of the beginning of what Kings Of Leon are to be.”
