It's been quite the journey for Kaiser Chiefs. Last year, the "Ruby" band's drummer/head songwriter Nick Hodgson called it quits, leaving the future of the group as a big old question mark. However, the remaining members are still trucking along. Yesterday (Dec. 10), Kaiser Chiefs released the first track from its upcoming album Education, Education, Education & War "Misery Company," and the track rocks harder than anything from the British band to date.
Full of (relatively) heavy guitars, a boot stompin' beat and keyboard that are biting enough to spook your black cat, "Misery Company" finds Kaiser Chiefs' lead singer reaching and reaching to hit notes (and, luckily, he nails them) and singing with a hip-swishing unabashed attitude.
Listen to the new Kaiser Chiefs song "Misery Company" below.
"Misery Company" is the lead single from Kaiser Chiefs fifth studio album, Education, Education, Education & War. Best known for their first two efforts, Employment and Yours Truly, Angry Mob, the indie rockers have consistently been pushing out material since 2005.
Education... is due out March 31, 2014 in the UK, and will be the band's first release since Hodgson left the band last year.
