  Kasabian 'Kasabian'
Kasabian are currently surrounded by more buzz than Michael Caine in The Swarm.
From the muscular electronica of breakthrough smash 'Club Foot' to the sinister pulse of 'Butcher Blues' 'Kasabian' is a record that blends classic guitar riffs with a raft of influences appropriated, magpie-like, from the shiniest bits of the culture.
Sinister and celebratory, uplifting and introspective, 'Kasabian' is a versatile record and yet another reason why 2004 is a great year for new music.

  BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Music | Cult band Kasabian surge forward
Kasabian moved into a remote farmhouse in Rutland to record their debut album, benefiting from its isolation but also managing to sneak in a few parties while they were there.
Kasabian's self-titled album was released last September to widespread critical acclaim, its indie dance stance drawing comparisons to The Stone Roses, Primal Scream and The Happy Mondays.
Regarding it as "both a fiery assertion of rock 'n' roll ethics and proof that a siege mentality is alive and well in the badlands of Rutland Water", the NME's praise was typical of the album's reception.

 Artist Profile - Kasabian
Recorded at the now-mythical farm where they arrived for a party and never got around to leaving, Kasabian's eponymous debut bypassed most critics and connected dramatically with an audience that recognised them as one of their own - just as Oasis had done with Meighan and Pizzorno in 1993.
'Kasabian' sold over 700,000 in the UK and the band were the undisputed victors of last year's festivals, putting in bristling performances at Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds and T In The Park.
While much of Kasabian was forged in the crucible of an uncertain wider world, Empire is a more personal record.

 Kasabian: Kasabian - PopMatters Music Review
Kasabian's self-titled debut possesses great swagger and numerous irresistible riffs, presenting itself with both barrels loaded to blast you with its punchy power pop.
Previously I'd imagined Kasabian's bassist paying ardent attention to "The Collected Works of Mani", but instead found two different players performing duties on the album (significantly, The Stone Roses and Primal Scream, the two most obvious influences on Kasabian, share Mani on bass as their main common denominator).
One suspects Kasabian seek an Oasis-like level of success (and why not?), but if so, it's to be hoped that their music does the talking, and in a way it seldom did for those particular of their idols.

 MTV News | Music News, Movie News, Features and Interviews, Artist Photos
It was then that the band — named for Linda Kasabian, the former Charles Manson groupie who testified against Manson in his murder trial — began forming their signature sound: a mix of Oasis Brit-pop swagger, late '80s Manchester dance and booming Chemical Brothers-worthy beats mixed with Primal Scream's scuzzy electronic rock-meets-hippie-culture clash.
Kasabian, which a fan informed the band means "butcher" in Armenian, ended up being an apt name, since Edwards said the British press has described their sound as trying to "chop up" rock and put it to a hip-hop beat.
Adding to their outlaw mystique is the iconic logo Kasabian pinched from an old Russian avant-garde painting, a revolution-minded image of a shadowy figure hidden behind a bandana with only one wary eye peeking out.

 CD Review: "Kasabian" - Kasabian - Features
Kasabian is from Leicester, Great Britain, and was formed by five 17-year-olds who said they had nothing better to do than play music.
The first track on Kasabian's self-titled 13-track CD is called "Club Foot." From the first note it is clear the band has grown up in a world full of raves and long, wild nights.
The most unique and powerful track on Kasabian's album, however, is entitled "Orange." This track uses no words, is only 40 seconds in length, and is by far one of the most effective instrumental scores I have heard.

 HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM | REVIEWS | Kasabian - Kasabian album review
Kasabian are the forefront of the new electronica - the electronica that rocks your fucking head off.
This is epic rock music presented in an evenly balanced sonic atmosphere, steering away from the bass heavy four-on-the-floor of most electronica, and turning instead to real songwriting and real interactive musical parts.
Drawing from the history of 90's Britpop and recreating it into their very own iconoclastic musical image, Kasabian is immediately loveable and easily listenable.

 Interview - Kasabian: Silent Uproar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When asked whether or not Kasabian felt they transcended the current trends, the band assured me that they feel their music could easily have been just as relevant 10 years ago as it will be 10 years from now.
One thing is certain though, Kasabian is a band that feels the true way to experience their music is live.
When preparing to hit the road, they took on a drummer to replace the electronically produced beats used in the studio because "you can't have a live band without a drummer." This desire to show their real talent through the live show has lead to constant touring since the band's inception.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : Kasabian
Kasabian present us with a mix of standard rock beat, plus groovy bass lines, plus indistinct funky guitar and a dollop of electronics mixed in.
What's interesting is that when Kasabian aren't trying as hard to impress, they come across far better than they do earlier in the album with all the 'MADchester' revisited by Fatboy Slim and Prodigy nonsense of the likes of 'Club Foot'.
So, 'Kasabian' do potentially have a future, albeit one that should lead more in the direction of 'Butcher Blues' and 'U Boat' than in the direction of 'Processed Beats' and 'Reason Is Treason'.

 Slant Magazine - Music Review: Kasabian: Kasabian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Songs like "Reason Is Treason" and the exhilarating "Running Battle" are all chorus, perhaps overcompensation for the fact that this is a band that likes to dabble, splice, and cut and paste (literally and figuratively—"kasabian" means "butcher" in Armenian and it also happens to be the name of Charles Manson's pregnant getaway driver).
Unfortunately, Kasabian's self-titled debut doesn't live up to the hype surrounding it—there's a lot of seemingly topical talk about war, terrorists, and selling arms that basically amounts to nothing, as well as lots of drug references, no doubt harking back to their U.K. Hardcore days.
I liked Kasabian better before I read their "manifesto" ("Join the movement to become an individual!")—hell, before I even knew they had one.
