Kings of Leon to start writing new material soon

Kings of Leon have revealed that they could start writing material in about "six months'" time.

The band endured a somewhat tumultuous 2011, with reports of inner band strife regularly appearing in the media.

However, drummer Nathan Followill told MTV that the quartet are set to play around with new material in the near future. He said:

"We're going to spend the next few months getting that up and running; kind of make it our little clubhouse to get there and just kind of goof off whenever we want to. But, I'd say within the next six months, we'll probably start kicking some stuff around."

Followill also commented on the tensions surrounding the band - suggesting that the media had exaggerated events. He said:

"Over the holidays, [you] break some bread, have some turkey, everyone makes up. I don't think it was as big as people thought it was, but the press machine takes it and runs with it."
