Kaiser Chiefs

Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly, Angry Mob

Second album from Leeds indie band who shot to fame with their three-million-selling 2005 debut 'Employment'. Continuing to wear their classic British pop influences (Blur, Smiths, Madness, Dexys) on their sleeves, they have turned in another rollicking guitar record. Includes the single 'Ruby'.

The debut album from Leeds quintet The Pigeon Detectives. Produced by Will Jackson (Kaiser Chiefs/Embrace) and mixed by Cenzo Townshend and Steve Harris, the album sees the band deliver an urgent mix of up-tempo British indie rock, taking influence from the likes of The Clash, The Libertines and The Kinks. The singles 'I'm Not Sorry', 'I Found Out' and 'Romantic Type' are included.
