Ian Brown has a go at Kasabian

Ian Brown told NME that Kasabian are a tribute band to the worst baggy bands and are feigning working-class roots despite being middle class from the Midlands.

Lots of musicians having a go at other musicians in the news today, then. Ian Brown has criticised Kasabian for being middle class but pretending to be working class. He told NME: "They're like a tribute band to the worst baggy bands. It's like they've watched all these videos and are trying to recreate that era - but it's not real. They're nice guys, but that is all they are - nice, middle class guys."

He continued: "They're feigning this stance of being working-class rebels from the north - when they're from the Midlands."

Wanting to be a working class rebel when you come from Leicester? The cheek of it.
