Bloody upset i have to say. There’s no justice when Kaiser Chiefs win awards and are still around and actual good, innovative bands like HOTS are having to split. Lost a bit of faith in music today.

Though it is sad they were never a ’major label band’ and Sony would only put up with poor record sales for so long. They didn’t need to split though!
