Their father Leon Followill was a Pentecostal minister who traveled extensively with his family across the South during the brothers' childhoods. The band's name honors the family patriarch. They were initially marketed in the early 2000s as part of the broader American garage rock revival movement (alongside the Strokes, the White Stripes, etc.), with commercial success in the UK before their American breakthrough. Only by the Night (2008) became a global commercial success with the singles Sex on Fire and Use Somebody.
