Kings Of Leon have said that their Southern American upbringing has helped make them successful with women.

The band, who release their new album 'Come Around Sundown' next week, are all in relationships except for bassist Jared Followill.

In an interview with XFM, drummer Nathan Followill said Jared was the only member who lacked the ability to talk to the opposite sex.

“Jared's the single one. He's not exactly the charmer. He just goes 'Nnn-ssss nnnns' - he's a club rat. It's sign language, mainly,” he said.

"But we're all pretty charming. We're from the South, it's been bred into us."

Guitarist Matthew added: "I'm better at break up lines... like: Are there people following you? Because I'm seeing people behind your back."

'Come Around Sundown' is released on Monday (October 18), although it leaked online earlier this month.
