Be among the first to hear the new album from Kaiser Chiefs, and let us know what you think in the comments.
It's not easy keeping a band going when the main songwriter leaves. But Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson reckons the departure of Nick Hodgson gave him a sense of purpose. "To be honest, I was more angry at myself for having not pulled my weight, for getting lazy," he told the Guardian's Tim Jonze. "Somewhere along the way we lost that anger. So basically, he did me a massive favour."
Combine that sense of focus with Wilson's role as a judge on The Voice, and Kaiser Chiefs are arguably in a stronger position than they have been for years. “I don’t want to peddle that old rubbish about being a new band again but for us it did feel like we were making our first record, because it was the first time we didn’t have the captain steering the ship," he told one interviewer. "It was adrift, heading for the rocks. But the crew was having a whale of a time!”
