Kasabian: Electro-Indie Revolution
Kasabian is a UK based band that could arguably categorized as a electro-indie rock band. Their lyrics feature political and social themes giving weight to all of their work. The music itself can be described as nothing else but amazing. Its rich, fluid keyboards mixed with the hard riffs of a screeching guitar makes their rhythms equal to none. Adaptable but consistent, their music can range from softer rock to an all out call to arms “power ballad”. Such ability in an artist is truly admirable.
The bands beginings start in Leicester where they were founded by members Tom, Sergio, Chris E., and Chris K. This indie group was at first called Saracuse but then changed their name to Kasabian at the suggestion of Chris K. Their debute album ‘Kasabian’ released in 2004 and included songs like the famous Club Foot and Reason for Treason. This sucessful album soon lead the group to record their next album Empire (2006). Its safe to say that between the two albums there is not one song that you will get tried of listening to. Kasabians success in the indie rock scene promises that this band has staying power.

Thanks for spotlighting Kasabian. They are a band that never gets enough exposure here in America even though they are quite popular in the UK.
The clever use of time changes in their songs are a breath of fresh air and make their music stand out from the rest of the indie rock bands.
The Empire video will go down as a classic in time to come. Their third album is due out in the next few months and I hope you will consider giving them another push when it is released.
Cheers.
I think I will try to recommend this post to my friends and family, cuz it’s really helpful.
