Kings Of Leon record label imprint, is proud to announce the release of The Features "SOME KIND OF SALVATION" in North America. The much-anticipated follow-up to the band’s critically lauded debut, "Exhibit A" is finally available now as an exclusive on iTunes and in stores and all digital outlets on July 28th. Critically lauded throughout the U.K., The Features recently performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. "Some Kind of Salvation" was produced by Grammy-Award winning Jacquire King (Modest Mouse, Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Sea Wolf) and Brian Carter at his Paradox Production facility in Murfreesboro, TN. The band features Matthew Pelham (guitar,lead vocals), Roger Dabbs (bass guitar), Mark Bond (keyboards) and Rollum Haas (drums).
Where once they were described in the same breath as musical compatriots the Kings of Leon, The Features are more than ready to establish themselves with their distinctive brand of southern rock as part of this unique deal. "SOME KIND OF SALVATION" builds upon the off-kilter, folksy-yet-driving quality of the band’s signature sound resulting in their most eclectic, fully realized recording to date. The first single to radio in early July is the striking track "Lions"-a crafty, angular pop rock gem. The band is currently putting the finishing touches on the "Lions" video. The release also includes a bonus track, "Now You Know."
