It took me a while to get into Kasabian and their first record (mostly because the singer guy kinda raps sometimes and for the most part rapping totally bums me out), but now I’m fully backing these brits. And after seeing/hearing their new video/single "Empire", I can’t wait to hear their follow up record of the same name. If the rest of the record is only half as good as the single, it’ll still slay that new pile of shit Primal Scream tried to pass off as a record. Supposedly these dudes kicked out one of the guitar players recently but I dunno if he was one of the main songwriters or not. At least the crazy tall dude with the weird hat is still in the band, not enough bands have dudes who can pull off the bizarre hat look. I guess there’s a cd single out in the UK of this song but even if we do have that shit over here it’s gonna be way too expensive so I’m gonna have to wait for the full length. If someone wants to email me the mp3s from the single, I’ll post em up here. Either way, check out the video below below and hit up their myspace page to stream some more songs. DO IT!
