Kasabian are an exciting band. They got the ambition and attitude of Oasis, and the sound of Primal Scream. They have been on my radar even since itunes gave away “Club Foot” as a free download, and I have been a fan ever since. They are set to release their 3rd album on June 9th, titled “The West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum”. It is named after a mental institution built in West Yorkshire, England in the 1800′s. Kinda…creepy.
The band gave away “Vlad The Impaler” for free on their website along with a bizzare video. The bass for Vlad is immense! It was a great comeback song, succesfully capturing my attention. Kasabian is back! Well “Underdog”, the opening track from the album has leaked and I am very pleased. The band sounds totally into it, this song is massive! I can totally see the BBC eating this one up! What a way to open the album up, I hope they can keep the pace for the duration of the album!
I always have room in my collection for a good rock/electronic fusion. Kasabian fill that description quite well.

Underdog is fantastic, not such a fan of the other one. but did you happen to see the Sony commercial with that song? the thing they built, i dunno what it’s called but would be amazing to see it in real life.
