Here Today... Gone To Hell!

They are fairly well known in Britain right now and are starting to make some noise in the US.


Any Kasabian fans on the board?

i've listened to the album a few times. Its pretty good, and from what i've seen of them i quite like the members.

Something about them that just makes them seems like a poor version of the stone roses tho. Defintely worth a listen for those that haven't heard them tho.

Lol, they are virtually a Stone Rose's tribute band - totally rip off of a vastly superior group

I like Kasabian. Theyr elecronic but not overly. its kinda nice simple and kool. i lyk Clubfoot, Cut off

I like'em ;), they are getting alot of airplay on 102.1 The Edge here in Ontario, Canada

Yes, the first time I heard one of their songs on the radio I thought it was the Stone Roses. I was thinking why are they playing a b-side Stone Roses song on a pop radio station.

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking:

your on the same wavelength as me ;)


Anyone seem 'em live? i saw them at Carling Academy in Glasgow 2 weeks ago. Killer live band

They definitely made some noise at the Coachella festival.  I like em, they're a fun band.

they got a lot o play on Kerrang radio in the midlands. its funny cuz on tim shaws asylum they twist names of the band as a joke and they call Kasabian "Kaz and Brain" and they calld processt beats "processt meat.

they have something, whatever it is, maybe it's potential, but because they don't have the means to use it, they'll promptly vanish off the scene quicker than you can say John was a scientist.

I like them, pretty decent music compared to some of the other new bands coming out of Britian at the moment. :peace:

Kasabian hav kool relaxing musik. theyr not trying 2 hard 2 b sum1 else.

atm, the best popular bands in musik scene r; VR, Razorlight, Kasabian.

the Kaiser Chiefs r ok but they try 2 hard

I dont know what to think of them, they're good, but I'm not huge into them. I'm considerin on buyin the cd, but I dunno.

Like  them a lot, why does Bloc Party and Franz Ferninand get all the credit?

It's the 60's trousers! Kasabian are so much more interested for my money. The synths are so much better in slow songs or fast paced IMO.

Got so into the Stone Roses a while back that in my desperation to get more of heir stuff i bought Kasabian's album (they are virtually a tribute band anyway..)

Really impressed, excellent album - the singles being the real standout tracks but impresive throughout

Im really looking forward to the new album. Not much info on it so far except that songtitles include "The Stuntman" and "Shoot The Runner". More guitar based they said.


Have you guys heard 55 and The Nightworkers? Non-album songs. I can hook people up if they're interested

stone roses rip off? has anyone heard primal scream's XTRMNTR album? Kasabian are influenced by both primal scream and the stone roses, I thought the album was great at first but it has little lasting power, i cant listen to it nowadays.

Check them out in Lisbon.


They might play something off their forthcoming 2nd album "British Legion"  : ok:

I was actually turned onto this band by a member here....they are really good...I like "Processed Beats" best

Live preview: "By My Side"

I definitely see wher you are coming from with the likening to primal scream in their electronic heyday (1997-2002). The sound Kasabian have is a lot tamer and nowhere near as dark, heavy or poltically charged as this period in Primal Scream's career. Almost? every UK guitar/indie band is compared to The Stone Roses and i can see this too in Kasabian.

The album is a good listen, nothing too challenging and you can lose yourself in it and just relax to the beats. I Believe this album was all recorded in a country house in England and all on pro tools, without the use of a live drummer.

Having seen the band in Glasgow Barrowlands in December 2004, I can tell you the tracks come across just as good as on the album and maybe even better. It was a fun night and would recommend anyone who slightly likes them to witness them in a live setting. The band also has two frontman with the singer and guitarist both swapping about roles as lead vocalist on tracks.

In Summary a good electro/indie/rock band from the UK, in my opinion better than Franz Ferdinad and The Kaiser Chiefs

Empire the single is avaliable on July 24th off the website and in stores. Empire the album avaliable on September 4th.



I for one cannot wait to hear.

You know what? I've heard of them but never actually sat down and listened to them, they seem like my kind of band judging by the descriptions on this board. Is it worth buying a random album of theirs?

They only have the self titled debut out at the moment but by all means give it a listen. It's a solid debut with plenty quality tunes  : ok:

Thanks, I've had a quick listen to the 2 tunes on their myspace and it's really my style. I'm probably gonna get the album this week.

Good call. I've pre-ordered a download of the 1st single from the new album on July 24th so remind me and I'll send you it  : ok:

Cheers!  ;)

I've just started gettin into em and I'm really digging it!

My mates saw em at Leeds fest last year and said they were dissapointing live...

Different strokes for different folks I guess, When I saw them last year in Glasgow they were top notch  : ok:

The new single sounds great. Fresh and a cracking sing-a-long  : ok:

kasabian??
doesnt the lead singer still live with his mother?  :nervous:

Oh fuck yes. The new album sounds a peach. Sun/Rise/Light/Flies and Stuntman are my faves right now.  8)

I dig this band. I wish axl would get them to open for GnR.

Thank you! I had no idea they had a new album out. I'll have to listen to it tomorrow.

They would be a class opener for Guns.  : ok:

Gave the cd a listen last night. Didn't really care for it on the first listen.

I got the first album on friday, i liked it a bit, but the more i listen to it the better it gets. I like Test Transmission at the moment.

i liked how towers of london put it on these guys.

"a poor mans oasis"

Anyone else bought the album? Sounds so good  : ok:

not out til next week in canada...how does it rate to the first disk?

Different, but in a very good way. The heavy keyboards are gone, replaced with a dirtier guitar sound and strings.

You will love it! Standout tracks are Stuntman, By My Side and Sun Rise Light Flies.

cool thanks!!

Streaming 'Empire' On NME at the moment. It's much better than the first album I think.

I'm nmore partial to the first disk but this one isn't bad : ok:
