Sometimes the greatest success stories sprout from the tiniest of ambitions. When Kaiser Chiefs formed up in Leeds around the summer of 2003, their aim wasn't to conquer stadiums and change the world. Instead, these five Britpop-obsessed oddballs began plotting a rather more modest plan. In the shadowy corners of clubs and venues across the city Ricky Wilson (lead vocals, owner of stylish blue and orange suit), Andrew 'Whitey' White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Nick 'Peanut' Baines (keyboards and modeller of impressive pork-pie hats) and Nick Hodgson (drums and vocals) decided to form a band that would harness the awesome capability of being able to blag an early slot at the following year's Leeds Festival. The Kaisers' story actually begins some time before they'd decided to name themselves after a successful South African football team. School friends Simon, Peanut and Nick had been playing together in various bands since the age of 15 before spying art school graduate and restless-ball-of-energy Ricky singing with a Rolling Stones tribute band. Right now, everybody wants a piece of the Kaiser Chiefs. Blur producer Stephen Street was so bowled over he offered his services for debut album Employment. A barrage of bouncing art-pop brilliance, it's scheduled to soundtrack 2005 from the minute it hits stereos this March.

Summary: Sweep Me Up
Comment: I don't know where I was when this album came out but Kaiser Chiefs were sweeping the Brit Awards the year I watched it and after catching their performance of "I Predict A Riot" I realized I simply had to have this CD, so I bought it and you know what? I frickin' love it! It's one of the best CDs I've ever heard. The opening chords of the 80s synth on "Everyday I Love You Less & Less" and then going into "I Predict A Riot", the album just gets better and better with each listen.

Summary: Employment
Comment: I recently purchased the new Kaiser Chiefs CD "Employment". I thought it was excellent. I enjoyed every track on the album, especially "Modern Way", "Caroline, Yes", "Oh My God", and, of course, "I Predict A Riot". This was the first CD from the Kaiser Chiefs I have bought and I would recommend it to everyone.

Summary: ...tee hee...you americans really don't know what you're getting yourselves into...
Comment: ...I come here as a warning to all of you who aren't aware of their arrogant scraping the barrel abysmalness...if you could imagine a one hit wonder with half the interest, amplified predictability, British accents (I am British) that are...in terms of the word...hmm...sterotypically annoying and so many NA-NA-NA-NA-NA's the nails float to your head and impale you as you lie on the floor bleeding...this album got awards and so did the band...and you know why? Because they follow a basic money making formula that the record companies shout "Hurrah!! Bring in the rubbish that we can keep for two albums then throw them away like a used KFC napkin"...this is in all the sense of the word Brit pop...in the way that it's basic guitars, root of the chord bass, and very simple cross rhythmed drums (sorry if that's too much for your head but I like using big words it makes me feel more clever then I actually am) that if you get a catchy enough chorus you will make a few people happy...and annoy the rest like a plague...if you buy this you are not only encouraging them to make more of this so they can make more money but you are literally forsaking music so that it is doomed to be like this forever...libertines were better then this and that's saying something...save a life...burn this album...lightly...in an oil fire...or buy it...I can't exactly stop you...

Summary: Neo New Wave?
Comment: One review I've read of this album describes its sound as "New Wave revival." The album's best song, the thundering "I Predict a Riot" is the Clash meets Supergrass; a great song. Outside of that, this very British sounding album borrows -- seemingly accidentally -- more for Brit Pop pioneers The La's than it does any New Wave band. There are hints of early Blur throughout the album. "Time Honoured Tradition" sounds lifted right off the Kinks' classic, Village Green Preservation Society.
While there is nothing startlingly original about Employment, it has a great sound, energy and overall feel. Rare is it that I can listen to an album once through and "get it" immediately, but Employment is one of those rarities. Put this on your Christmas list.

Summary: Good, lively band
Comment: This band has a very distinctive Euro sound, like the Clash or the Cure. It is lively and engaging and fun to bop and sing along to. Great music for a road trip, a party or getting really physical stuff done that you don't want to do--like moving, cleaning, or working outside.
