		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.
		Ringtones from the new album, and from the first lp, are available from the band's WAP site- go to wap.kasabian.co.uk on your phone's browser, or check here for more info.

	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.

	British band blends genre influences - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		While the sources of their music are hardly original, the way the band synthesizes rock guitar with hip hop and techno beats is near revolutionary.
		This is, incidentally, how the band markets itself, the CD cover showing an inkblot print of a masked man. Not to mention the "Kasabian Manifesto" delineating the band's beliefs.
		Kasabian is named after Linda Kasabian, Charles Manson's getaway driver who turned state witness in the 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and others in California.

	Kasabian Will Release Album March 8th Via RCA \| RockAndMetal.com
		The members of Kasabian all grew up in Leicester, a city hidden in a sprawl of suburbs, the kind of place where you listen to music, watch football, get drunk and wander the streets at night singing, because there's nothing else to do.
		Later one of the band members was reading about Charles Manson, and the name of the family's pregnant getaway driver, Linda Kasabian, leaped off the page.
		The word "kasabian" also turned out to be Armenian for the word "butcher," appropriate for a band who work with a cut-and-paste collage of sound, but also for a gang with ambitions to cut the pap out of pop.

		The band quickly followed him as he was helped offstage, with singer Tom Meighan assuring the audience they would be back "in two minutes".

	Kasabian's derivative dance rock disappoints
		It might leave you to believe Kasabian is some gritty rock and roll band out of the slums of Russia or somewhere—the video looks like a depressing social realist movie and the band name sounds vaguely foreign.
		Kasabian is a perfectly listenable affair, in songs like "I.D.," "Running Battle," and "Test Transmission" the band finds a nice groove and rolls with it about four minutes.
		The band gets the attitude right, but only a few songs are better than just OK. Tom Meoghan is singer who probably learned his swagger at the altar of Liam Gallagher and those earlier Madchester guys, but he is stuck with a band that makes music better for soundtracks than for direct listening.

		Kasabian is a revolutionary new band that found that all the pop music around them was dull and mannered.
		The music of this band has an inherent passion that must be heard to be believed, and the icing on the cake would be if you get to hear them live.
		Growing up in Leicster a city, which accoriding to the band is boring in its entirety, the group took to music because at first there was just nothing elsed to do apart from listening to music, watching footbald, getting drunk, and wandering the streets at night, drunk to high heaven and singing.

		Kasabian are by no means the first band to merge indie rock with dance floor beats, but they are easily one of the best.
		Hailed as the "new stone roses" Kasabian have managed to fill the gap which appeared as the eclectic music scene of the new millenium fragmented into distinct dance or rock genres.

	KASABIAN'S CHARLES MANSON CONNECTION
		Kasabian has been working harder than your average U.K. band in the United States, but the band hasn't taken any flak for the origin of their name.
		Kasabian also wanted to put a disclaimer out that they are not condoning Manson in any way and call him and his acts disgusting.
		The band is putting in time not only playing headline shows, but also doing their share of festival appearances in the States.

	MTV News - Kasabian Mix Big Riffs And Dance Beats To Make Noisy Love During War
		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.

		Finding the pop music around them dull and mannered, Kasabian mixed a bit of the Stones, Happy Mondays, and Primal Scream with DJ Shadow-influenced electronics to take the British press by storm.
		Named after Linda Kasabian, Charles Manson's getaway driver turned state witness, Leicester's Kasabian stole a page from Sun Ra and the Band, as the group's members moved into a remote old farmhouse to brew their music.
		Communal life and shelf after shelf filled with albums by their favorites (Neu!, the Beatles, DJ Shadow, Primal Scream, Blackalicious) produced a rocking sound that wasn't afraid of electronics and harked back to days of baggy pants and druggy dancing.

	Interview - Kasabian: Silent Uproar
		Dance music infused with rock is becoming the hot new thing, and bands like The Faint, who have been doing it for years, are seeing a rise in popularity as new bands like The Killers and Kasabian are stirring up the scene with their refreshing new sounds.
		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.

		Kasabian is the latest in England’s new wave of Radiohead influenced bands (Read as: Coldplay, Cooper Temple Clause, Keane, etc.).
		This their debut for RCA Records and while on the surface there is not much to peak your attention, there is certainly a lot more to this band than you would be tempted to think.
		While it may be the success of Radiohead that got Kasabian’s music to the states, it’s their odd approach and creativity that will keep them here.

		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.

		Kasabian burned up the UK charts upon the release of their late 2004 self-titled debut.
		As far as Kasabian goes, I’m of the firm belief that they fall somewhere in the middle of the pack.
		The Leicester-based band takes a bit of the aforementioned Mondays (the “baggy” part in particular) and tosses in a dash of U2, a splash of The Stone Roses, and a touch of EMF (or is it Jesus Jones) for some real zing.

		In addition to the ever-popular "bloody wankers" and "daft cunts," there are two somewhat more charitable insults that Britons hating on their nation's dominant rock bands like to sling.
		It's 4 in the afternoon, he's just rolled out of his bunk, and the blast of frigid Boston air that greeted him as he stepped out of the tour bus was a rude but necessary wake-up call.
		And while his band's self-titled debut album finally gets its U.S. release this week (it came out in Britain nearly six months ago), Pizzorno has already discovered that word of Kasabian's cockiness has definitely preceded the group's stateside visit.
