I'm going to be a mainstream whore today. --- I love Kaiser Chiefs. There, I said it. They're fun, and their songs are a little different than what is out there right now. Their single, Ruby ," is perfect for singing along in the car. Yay Kaiser Chiefs. --- [...]

Kaiser Chiefs have a knack for writing songs that burst with melody but still have a crunchy edge. Their latest single, "Ruby," is a good example of that. It is a fresh slice of guitar-driven Britpop that even includes a subtle synth riff that will help their appeal to the mainstream. It is a straight up tune about falling in love and the stir of emotions that goes along with that. "Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held. 'Cos there's nothing at all 'cept the space in between us," sings Ricky Wilson. It is nothing genial, it is [...]

This one has a spooky vibe to it and some cool bells chiming around the track. Plus, I really love Gena Olivier's voice. There's another post here about the band. mp3 Bell Tower Midnight Movies - Lion the Girl I am not really sure about this album, but hey why take it so seriously. Rock 'n Roll can just be fun too, right? Well, I like this song mainly for the line "I want [...]

After the avalanche of releases last week , it's nice to skim through a smaller list this time around. As you can see, there isn't exactly anything that would make you want to run out to go buy, but there isn't much that's really familiar. That's what this is for though, to give you a taste of what's out there week after week. Probably the biggest album out there is the U.S. release of the Kaiser Chiefs album Yours Truly, Angry Mob . I don't care too much for them myself, [...]

It's kind of a blah week as far as new releases go. I've already covered the most interesting release ( Klaxons' Myths of the Near Future ,) and the rest are just fair to middling. Releases from UK dominate the landscaep: The Fall , Kaiser Chiefs , and the debut from Freddy Mercury fan Mika . One bright spot, however, is a release from Portland's Small Sails .

Italian band Trees that seems to be finding lots of inspiration in the shoegaze /alternative / post-rock genres. Once again this is a surprisingly amazing Italian band found thanks to Fadeaway (why have I never explored Italian music before?). This is wonderful atmospheric music with simply beautiful vocals. The band has released 3 albums including the debut in 1997 and below I've linked to one track of each album. + The Sea As Horizon + December [...]
Kaiser Chiefs impressed me with their first album, and the newest effort, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, is just what you would want from a these Leeds Britpopsters in a sophomore album. With the success of their last album Kaiser Chiefs are probably in no way new to many of you, but, thanks to The MuseBox, I have an MP3 to share. Check it out and pick up the album when it is released in the U.S. on March 27th. Kaiser Chiefs | Ruby

Kaiser Chiefs are a English new wave rock band from Leeds, formed early in 1997. They were formed by school friends Nick Hodgson, Simon Rix and Nick Baines. They were later joined by Andrew White and art school graduate and Ricky Wilson, who they spotted singing with a Rolling Stones tribute band. Originally they were named Parva. After reinventing themselves as the Kaiser Chiefs in 2002, the band made a strong impact on the British music scene, culminating in winning three Brit Awards for 'Best Group', 'Best British Rock Act' and 'Best Live Act' in 2006.(wikipedia) [...]

March is looking to be quite a month for new music releases. The Arcade Fire and Amy Winehouse are at the top of my list for most anticipated new releases, but Idlewild, Neil Young, and Kaiser Chiefs, among others, will release new albums during the month.

Has there ever been a more unnecessary statement? Or a more pointless question? "Hello, we're the Kaiser Chiefs . Does anyone want to sing along?" Their ubiquitous presence everywhere means we know who they are. And of course everyone wants to sing along. That's what you do with Kaiser Chief songs. This is mob music. Group mentality rules. It's kind of like being on the terraces with the difference that everyone's supporting the same team. And you can't help getting caught up in it. You sing, you chant, you 'wooooaaaaahhhhhh' and you do [...]

the kaiser chiefs are fun. the visual evidence above comes courtesy of photographer peter hill. (check out more of his excellent rock photos here .) the new kaiser chiefs album yours truly, angry mob is out today in the u.k. [buy] . (it's not out in the u.s. until next month.) loved and hated in britain for their lots-of-record-selling, anthemic, poppy, synth-rock sound, the kaiser chief boys do a few things we like: put on a good show, put on a fun show and put on a [...]
Ze gooien het er wel weer lekker boven op, de Kaiser Chiefs. Op hun nieuwe plaat Yours Truly, Angry Mob, die vanaf morgen in de winkels ligt,is weer duidelijk te horen waar het bij de Kaiser Chiefs om draait. En datis natuurlijk Brit-rock. Het overduidelijke accent en de muziek zelf wijktniets af van het stereotype Brit-rockalbum. Dat is meteen ook het min-punt van zowel de band als het nieuwe al...
The Kaiser Chiefs have slowly been creeping their way up into adore status lately for some reason. I think it just hit its peak after spinning the UK 7" of Ruby and hearing their amazing B-Side "Admire You". I fell in love at first listen and I think you will as well.
