Thank God for The British Invasion!!!

Seriously, can you not appreciate how awesome this shirt is? I couldn't vote this past election because of my religious beliefs(kidding)but I think I would have rocked this out in line waiting to vote. In the spirit of democracy I would like to extend the olive branch of friendship and eternal thanks to the Nation Of Britain. No, those two sentences have nothing to do with each other.

Thank you England for recognizing the talent of our black musicians, digesting it wholeheartedly then regurgitating it in our faces sounding much harder and angrier at times. The basis for rock-n-roll you say? Anyone? Bueller? The blues guitar lick, the slide guitar sound,the lyrics depicting something so very somber and gritty and shocking even at times. It probably sounded really relevant to the post war youth of Britain.They took it and ran like thieves man, I wish I could have lived that time period. They recognized the raw talent in Jimi Hendrix channeled it like a laser through a maze of mirrors and unleashed him on the masses at Monterrey where he lit his guitar on fire and gave birth to the punk movement whether he knew it or not.(this is all strictly heresy but I believe it sprang forth from his loins) Ungh !(crotch-thrust to the sky)

and without further ado...the new British invasion (no not fucking Coldplay)

"OYE, HEAVY DOOTY!"
poof means something different in England sessions

I have to give to this band man they is TIGHT! The first time I listened to this album it was on faith alone, maybe because someone mentioned it on some site or thru the random torrent searches I embarked on at 1am on a random weeknight. This time my gamble paid off and I was well rewarded.A solid back beat which makes me believe London has given birth to some great drummers.Lyrics and melodies fit for a king or for invading a small country and declaring a ruling monarchy,this album provides it all.

This was also a surprise I had downed it about a week before British Sea Power and also received a pleasant surprise.On the tip of an English version of Nick Drake but more rocking.The band is definitely ready for airplay.

Kasabian the band was named after Linda Kasabian a member of the Charles Manson cult. Now with that said I think we should not worry about that now because this band is amazing and they will soon be dispensing face-melting in the states with their power rock fused with Dan The Automators insane producing skillz(see Gorillaz)Some songs have a sense of dread attached to them.Maybe that's just me.True story from the carwash files some a-hole almost wrecked because I had to replay the track "Thick As Thieves"I didn't believe it belonged on the same album..In fact the whole album offers different styles of music crammed together.

This band requested my friendship on the Myspaces and I usually find out a little about them before submitting my answer which is almost always "HELL NO"..But..30 seconds into their first track I was floored..First off I am a big fan of instrumental bands and musics. My first forage in this genre was a band called Karma To Burn. Rock instrumental? Is that even a genre? Joe Satriani was rock instrumental. Well this band is going to blow the fuck up to say the least. Now where is my endorsement check?
