Across the Pond: Kaiser Chiefs



Well, I’m back from Jamaica, I know you missed me, don’t pretend you didn’t.  I’m pretty sure I can run faster now due to the ingestion of curried goat and SPF 30.  Anyways, do you like the Kaiser Chiefs?  The Leeds rock outfit is four albums deep with a new one, Start the Revolution Without Me, on the way this year.  Lot’s of punky rock rifts, new wave keys, and “harmonized” yelling to go around. I guess they played The Who’s “Pinball Wizard” during the closing ceremony of the London Olympic Games too (currently relevant band? Check.).  Give em’ a listen and keep an eye out for their new release by the end of the year.

Bonus: Check out Lily Allen and Mark Ronson’s cover of the Kaiser Chief’s “Oh My God”, it’s a good one.
