honestly

what is the point of this. Well done Kaiser Chiefs, you've written a list of songs but not told us anything about them. Great stuff.

leave off guv'... that's my fault

for not asking them to write anything about them.

its not like they've made it up likes

their old band Parva played with The Faint (and when fact checking i found this old thread http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/5677#r39707 ), they started the Pigs club in Leeds, Simon used to help run Joseph's Wells in Leeds and whenever I've met them they're always enthusing about new bands or asking me what they should be checking out and taking notes.

this site sometimes

you all sound like twats to be honest. I dont like the kaiser cheifs but the people who write shitty comments such as the ones above, it really pisses me off. Who the fuck are you to call someone elses taste crap. Wow well done yes you get some cool points for knocking a mainstream indie pop band who have written a few articles for a week for a website...
Grow up

I've got Zerox

Quite..

hardly the most original thoughts coming from a weeklong batch of articles, though clearly we are all sat at our computers in awe of such thought provoking retorts.
