As much of the UK music industry searches for different permutations on the Coldplay/Keane axis of evil, Kasabian represent a welcome diversion. Taking their name from a Manson Family member, they cop the attitude and rhythms of the Mondays and Primal Scream.

It’s a template that the Chemicals and Death in Vegas have experimented with, but Kasabian pull it off with wild abandon.
