Kasabian - Switchblade Smiles

 

Leicester’s favourite sons, Kasabian, are back with their new track Switchblade Smiles and details of fourth studio album Velociraptor!

The track was debuted as Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record in the World, simultaneously uploaded to Soundcloud and blogged and discussed across the internet from sites such as The NJ Underground, Clash, Glasswerk and Rock it Out Blog to Consequence of Sound, Details of My Life so Far, My Indie Site, Addict Music and plenty of others.

The band have won multiple awards for their albums, tracks, artwork and live performances – which goes some way to understand the hype around them headlining this weekend’s Rockness and Isle of Wight festivals.

Now Playing is going to place Kasabian in the centre of the playlist this week:
- Kasabian’s own tracks
- People they were influenced by – Stone Roses anyone
- British indie-rock bands of the noughties
- Other Midlands acts such as Cornershop, Black Sabbath, Slade
- Music produced by Dan the Automator like Gorillaz, Handsome Boy Modelling School
- Other acts at Rockness/Isle of Wight
- and anything else you can think of
