Kaiser Chiefs

from Universal:
Yours Truly, Angry Mob, Kaiser Chiefs's second full-length album, is set for release on Universal Records on March 27th, 2007. Produced by Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur), mixed by Cenzo Townshend and Stephen Street at Olympic Studio in London and recorded at Hook End Manor in Oxfordshire in one 6 week session last fall, Yours Truly... is the follow-up to their debut, Employment.

Kaiser Chiefs were one the great musical success stories of 2005. Kaiser Chiefs swiftly and effortlessly breezed into first place, where at home in the UK they became the biggest new band of the year, selling 3 million records and sweeping the Brit Awards, the NME awards and taking home the prestigious Ivor Novello songwriter award. Further afield, Chiefs were wholehearted welcomed by the US media, who latched on to the feisty fun of debut single "I Predict A Riot" and reveled in the band's energetic live shows, marveling at lead singer Ricky Wilson's signature high jumps, which he even managed at SXSW with a broken ankle. The Kaiser's, along with fellow Brits Bloc Party, became leaders of the pack in a spirited "British Invasion" which may have been more of a "renaissance" than an "invasion". By the time the boys returned to Britain things had spiraled into bone fide Kaiser Mania and they found themselves the uncontested Band Of The Year.

Fast forward to 2007 and...Yours Truly, Angry Mob wields its musical might from the start in the shape of "Ruby" - an infectious single to rival anything the band have done before. "Angry Mob", a favorite from the band's European festival appearances last year is destined to be a universal fan favorite. "Heat Dies Down" will surely have 'em pogoing in the aisles en masse, while the stunning "Everything Is Average Nowadays" is perhaps the thread linking Yours Truly... with its predecessor. Yours Truly, Angry Mob, as one band member has been heard to utter, "is an album full of big choruses and even bigger guitars".
