Kasabian
- Kasabian
Kasabian has a sound that is instantly familiar to those who grew up listening to such bands as Happy Mondays, Stereo MC�s, Soup Dragons, and Primal Scream. With dance club beats and repetitive, sing-a-long lyrics, I doubt there is a single teenage-ridden dance hall to be found in England that isn�t playing one or more tracks from this self-titled debut. Hailing from Leicester, England, Kasabian is also the next victim in the car commercial sellout game (check out the new Pontiac commercials), with �Club Foot� leading the charge. I remember telling myself awhile back that I would never claim a band as my own who make it on a TV commercial (okay, I still love The Cure and Modest Mouse), but who has ever heard of Kasabian, other than sweat-sprinkled rave-a-holics from London? There are a few really dynamic tracks to
be heard here, such as �L.S.F�, �Cutt Off�, �Processed Beats�, and �Reason
Is Treason�, but the rest of the tracks seem like obligatory, electronic,
experimental filler fluff, making Kasabian appear to be about as transparent
as a jellyfish. With no sense of original style, music-by-numbers engineering,
and quite an inquisitive knack for ripping off early 90�s alternative U.K.
bands, Kasabian looks to be riding on the overcrowded one-hit wonder bus
down a one-way street. Next stop: obscurity.
