Kaiser Chiefs

Indie rock
Indie rockPunk rockRock

Kaiser Chiefs is a Indie rock and Punk rock act. Their catalogue also touches Rock. Their sound grew out of Black Kids, I Heard It Through the Grapevine, Razorlight, Stephen Street and The Twang. Those roots explain a lot about how Kaiser Chiefs arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Hard-Fi, Dirty Pretty Things, The Courteeners, The Vaccines and The Zutons, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Pigeon Detectives, Nine Black Alps, Silversun Pickups, Rhythms Del Mundo and Boy & Bear, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 39 connections around Kaiser Chiefs, reaching back through Black Kids and forward to The Pigeon Detectives.
