Modern Way

Product Information

But, while the city boasted a thriving alternative music scene with the opportunity to discover new bands and listen to the latest indie tunes the likes of The Faversham, Mint, and The HiFi Club, it was also a student town; a hub of super-clubs and cheap nights out.

He added: "But the weird thing is, we thought that was really peculiar to us and Leeds and our lives".

DA: It made things a little bit sour, though. It's an award for songwriters and composers. He was being honoured for his considerable body of work and we were at the event with people like The Bee Gees and multimillion selling artists like the Kaiser Chiefs. The way pop music works – sometimes it is loud, sometimes it is simplistic and sometimes it doesn't need to go beyond three chords to do what it sets out to do. He made his views clear, which were: "You're idiots if you like music like this." RW: That's what a lot of people do when they go further in their careers. They get too into themselves and become boring, because it's too grown up and too serious.

John Smeaton is now of course long gone, and part of the history books, just like some of the infamous Leeds hangouts the Kaiser Chiefs would have grown up around. Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.

DA: I think that's a line of criticism where people criticise something for what it's not rather than what it is, and that always disturbs me – it's a bit like criticising Coca-Cola for not being wine. Sometimes I want one and sometimes the other. NH: It's one of the favourite songs of Brendan Benson, the great singer-songwriter in The Raconteurs.Kaiser Chiefs emerged in the mid-2000s as one of the major players in the Post-Punk Revival movement. After a slight false start with their first album, 22 (released under the name “Parva”), the band achieved considerable commercial success with their first two major-label studio albums, Employment (2005) and Yours Truly, Angry Mob (2007). The latter also spawned the single, “Ruby”, which scored the band their first UK #1 in 2007. The group gained recognition for their Britpop and Punk-influenced sound, which made them stand out among their contemporaries.
