To be honest, I don't think about them very often. But occasionally I'll see them mentioned, or hear one of their songs on the radio, or catch thirty seconds of them on television acting like absolute twats whilst blasting out their insipid, predictable, #LAD-approved cock-rock "anthems" on the mainstage at some corporate pig-trough of a festival, or flick through a copy NME in the supermarket only to find examples their twattish behaviour being served up as evidence that they're "proper rock stars" (or some other bullshit term synonymous with arrogant, overhyped wankers), and that will remind me of their wasted existence and those truly awful initial experiences. I don't think there's a band working today who I dislike quite as much Kasabian. If I hate Oasis for thinking they were The Beatles or The Stone Roses or whoever the fuck it was they thought they were after a few lines of cocaine, I hate Kasabian for being the (somehow even more heinous) offspring of that horrific idea.


Pretty much true. I bought the first album as quite liked the first couple of singles. Then decided on the above. Watched them on Glastonbury on tv this year and for all the above I couldn't help but think they did ok.

Saw an interview where Tom Meighan said he was currently reading Danny dyers autobiography. That tells you enough about them really.

Kasabian have had a handful of cool tracks (I love Underdog) but their full albums are always pretty sucky.

Kasabian are exceptionally good at making albums that make people go "meh".

I don't really think about them, that's how interesting or inspiring they are to me. A footnote of a band.
