White Lies 'want Kings of Leon career path'

White Lies frontman Harry McVeigh has said that he wants his band to follow the same "career path" as Kings of Leon.

The singer told NME that he hoped his group could follow a similar road to success as the US four-piece.

McVeigh said: "I've been reading a lot of things about Kings of Leon's career path. Whether you like them or not, they were on a perfect rise to the level they were at.

"With each record they’ve grown in popularity, and I think that's a really comfortable way to become one of the biggest bands in the world."

He added: "We've toured with them, seen how comfortable they looked on stage and what a good show they put on. If we were to get to that level it'd be a really natural and accomplished way of doing it."

White Lies this week released their second album Ritual.
