Music band Kings of Leon have reportedly just reached a great record deal with Warner Brothers, after dumping their former record label label Columbia Records.

Reports say that this new contract, will see the rock band pay half their recording costs themselves, as well as getting themselves more control on how much they spend in addition to getting more money for themselves.

A report in the The Sun newspaper said: “Kings of Leon are one of the few bands on the planet who have enough heft to negotiate such a favorable deal. It is virtually unheard of but it shows how keen Warner Brothers were to have them on their books.”

Besides the record deal, Kings of Leon are also launching their own clothing line called KOLxS2A. The brand will be heavily priced with the group’s trademarked leather jacket costing a cool $1,200.
