Kasabian: There's A Rock N' Roll Drought In Music

Kasabian have admitted that they think the music charts are dominated by 'pop acts', insisting there is a 'drought' of rock'n'roll' bands around.

In an interview with Contact Music, the band said that they think the charts are 'overrun by pop' and that Kasabian are one of the only UK acts taking a risk with songs.

Meighan said: There's a rock 'n' roll drought at the moment, so I'm glad we're here. People are frightened of making records that sound good on the radio.

Pizzorno added: "We've been overrun by pop and I hate that indie attitude. Life's too short to give a ****.

"I'm not religious, I don't think there's anything after this, so I'm here to have a good time and this is the one chance I've got. So get me the ****ing fur coat and let's crack on. One knobhead might go, 'Oh, I don't like that.' But who cares?"

Meanwhile, Kasabian recently said that they believe that the band are built to headline festivals.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, guitarist Serge Pizzorno said his band combine the best of both rock and dance music which would make them perfect festival headliners.
