When Tears for Fears sang "Kick out the Style/Bring back the Jam" in "Sowing
the Seeds of Love," one can imagine the lads in Kaiser Chiefs raising their mugs
of ale in agreement. Comprised of vocalist Ricky Wilson, guitarist Andrew White,
bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick Baines, and drummer Nick Hodgson, Kaiser
Chiefs resurrected the mod spirit of the Jam in "I Predict a Riot," a
supercharged class-of-1977 power pop single that quickly electrified the British
press when it was released in 2004. The song was inspired by Wilson's days as a
club DJ in Leeds, England, where the group was formed. The single and Kaiser
Chiefs' pogo-inducing, boot-stomping live performances had them pegged as rising
stars in the neo-new wave revolution with Franz Ferdinand, Dogs Die in Hot Cars,
and the Futureheads.
When Kaiser Chiefs' first 7", "Oh My God," reached number 66 on the U.K. charts
-- a startling achievement for an unsigned band -- doors opened for the group to
share the stage with larger acts, consequently grabbing the attention of A&R
scouts who wanted to sign them. "I Predict a Riot," on the other hand, reeled in
U.S. modern rock radio programmers caught in a blooming new wave revival.
Without an American label deal, Kaiser Chiefs (named after the South African
football team) crash-landed on some of the biggest U.S. alternative stations
with the "I Predict a Riot" import single in late 2004. That same year they
recorded their debut album, Employment, for the U.K. label B-Unique. The album
was released domestically in the U.S. in spring 2005.
The group's follow-up, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, arrived in the spring of 2007,
with Off with Their Heads arriving a year later. The band's fourth studio album,
The Future is Medieval, arrived in the U.K. in 2011. Four of the tracks, "Out of
Focus," "Long Way from Celebrating," "Dead or in Serious Trouble," and "Coming
Up for Air" were swapped out for "On the Run," "Cousin in the Bronx," "Problem
Solved," and "Can't Mind My Own Business" when it appeared the following year in
the U.S. as Start the Revolution Without Me.
In the summer of 2012, following tours of the United Kingdom and North America,
Kaiser Chiefs treated fans to Souvenir: The Singles 2004-2012, a definitive
compilation of releases from a highly eventful eight-year period for the band.
This was followed by the news that Ricky Wilson would be appearing in the
touring stage show of Jeff Wayne's epic War of the Worlds in late 2012, playing
the part of The Artillery Man, originally portrayed by David Essex. 2014 saw the
release of Education, Education, Education & War, the band's sixth studio album
and first to feature new drummer Vijay Mistry.
