Kaiser Chiefs

Leeds boys made a splash on '00s U.K. indie rock scene, with original, anarchic update on late 1970s post-punk.

Biography

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," and supercharged class of 1977 power pop that quickly electrified the British press when it was released in 2004. The single and Kaiser Chiefs' pogo-inducing, boot-stomping live performances had them pegged as rising stars in the neo-new wave revolution with Franz Ferdinand, Dogs Die in Hot Cars, and the Futureheads. ~ Michael Sutton
