I believe the band released single last May through Drowned In Sound, but February 21st 2005 sees the band re-release this thunderous track through B-Unique. It’s impossible not to like this track – it’s just such an awesome single and will almost certainly give their fan base a huge boost. Kaiser Chiefs have always been a great band on the underground circuit and seem to be finally about to make their mark properly on the UK commercial music scene.
This track works really well, and is just one of those songs that even from the first time you hear it you consider it to be a classic. With its catchiness, fun beat, and awesome vocals this track is sure to have you hooked. I can see this song doing really well in the charts as it is one of those songs that you will be humming for the rest of the day after listening to it and everyone will ask what you’re singing. This track has excruciatingly good lyrics, and once you hear this track, never again will you forget the line ‘Oh my god I can’t believe it, I’ve never been this far away from home.’ This tune will have that line permanently drummed into your head and every time you think of it, it will bring a smile to your face.
There is inevitably going to be a Kaiser Chiefs movement this year where everyone will be claiming that they were into them before they got huge but it really doesn’t matter. The fact is, you will fall in love from the first moment you hear this band so whenever it was that you first heard them it doesn’t matter – everyone will have in common the love of Kaiser Chiefs from first listen. This track will almost certainly enter the top 10 when it is released next month and if it doesn’t then there is quite frankly no justice in the world when week after week acts such as McFly are getting in there.
