English rockers Kasabian have slated the music charts of today – with frontman Tom Meighan revealing that he thinks there is a ‘drought’ of Rock n’ Roll music in the scene today.
The band have been talking to Contact Music and admitted that they are horrified by the lack of rock in the charts, and that they’re proud of themselves for giving chart-listeners an alternative to the mainstream pop which currently dominates the music scene.
“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. We've been overrun by pop and I hate that indie attitude. Life's too short to give a fuck.
“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 fucking fur coat and let's crack on. One knobhead might go, 'Oh, I don't like that.' But who cares?”
What do you think of Meighan’s remarks? Let us know in the comments section below.
