Kasabian (electronic, rock, debut album, album, The Smiths)

Anyone out there like these guys? Probably only going to have been the British contingent that have so far, as their debut album is not out until the middle of this month, but I'd recommend anyone who likes their music to have incredibly eclectic influences to check these guys out.

They're from Manchester, which gave the world The Smiths, New Order and the whole "Madchester" scene of the early 90's, and their sound varies from guitar driven rock through electronica seamlessly.

Try and get hold of "Reason is Treason", "Processed Beats" and "Club Foot" if you can, I don't think you'll be disappointed. They are excellent live too.

Yeah Ive heard of them Frans. I listen to Storm radio on Sky and they're plugging them all the time. Im still a bit undecided on them at the moment. Funny that you say they're from Manchester though, cos on Storm they say they're from Leicester....

Yes, they are from Leicester. For some reason they lied originally. Why would someone do that?

Jesus really? How sad. To appear to fit in with the whole madchester thing i guess. Thats a bit patronising isnt it? To think that ppl will only like them if they come from a particular place?

I know, strange. Anyway, in the last interview with them that I read, they said they were from "The North". Since when has the East Midlands been the north? I'm scared, people might think I'm from London next...

im not getting this whole "revolution thing" with all the flags and banners these guys are trying to advertise themselves- they look like some terrorist organisation or religious cult. that said their music is cool, processed beats (which for a couple of weeks i thought was processed meats) is sweet and reason is treason is good. dunno if i'll waste a tenner on the album though...

I guess I can tolerate them given the Happy Mondays ain`t around anymore

I like one song... the only song I've heard. Cutt Off. Yes... hmm... wouldn't buy the album based on that one song though.
