Kasabian: 'Arctic Monkeys Are F**king Amazing'

Kasabian have revealed that they are massive fans of the Arctic Monkeys.

Front man Tom Meighan believes the Sheffield lads should win the Best British Breakthrough Act at the Brits and that they have done a lot to change the face of music.

He said: “They’ve got to win British Breakthrough. I remember talking to my mates about them before they were signed and now look at them.”

Tom continued to The Star: “That guy (Alex Turner) is a poet, and I’m a proper fan of everything they’re about. It’s ****ing amazing for British music what those lads have done and I’d love to meet them.”

He also went on to defend the Brits which has come under criticism for their commercial angle, saying: “Too many people talk shit about the Brits but it’s an awards show and it’s supposed to be fun and mean a lot at the same time.”

Kasabian are up for the Best British Rock Act gong at the awards.
