Kaiser Chiefs
All Music Guide
When Tears for Fears sang, Kick out the Style/Bring back the Jam, in Sowing the Seeds of Love, one can imagine the lads in Kaiser Chiefs raising their mugs of ale in agreement. Comprised of vocalist Ricky Wilson, guitarist Andrew White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick Baines, and drummer Nick Hodgson, Kaiser Chiefs resurrected the mod spirit of the Jam in I Predict a Riot, supercharged class of 77 power pop that quickly electrified the British press when it was released in 2004. The song was inspired by Wilsons days as a club DJ in Leeds, England, where the group was also formed. The single and Kaiser Chiefs pogo-inducing, boot-stomping live performances had them pegged as rising stars in the neo- ew wave revolution with Franz Ferdinand, Dogs Die in Hot Cars, and the Futureheads. When Kaiser Chiefs first 7 Oh My God reached Number 66 on the U.K. charts -- a startling achievement for an unsigned band -- doors opened for the group to share the stage with larger acts, consequently grabbing the attention of A&R scouts who wanted to sign them I Predict a Riot, on the other hand, reeled in U.S. modern ock radio programmers caught in a blooming ew wave revival. Without an American label deal, Kaiser Chiefs (named after the South African football team) crash-landed on some of the biggest U.S. alternative stations with the I Predict a Riot import single in late 2004. That same year they recorded their debut album Employment for the U.K. label B-Unique. The album was released domestically in the U.S. in spring 2005.
