Kasabian have been saying negative things about some of their fellow bands, mostly on account of their being a bit dull. Guitarist Serge Pizzorno had nothing good to say about Bloc Party, telling NME: "they'll get rumbled. That's their thing, innit, concentrating on what's shit about life. In 20 years' time nobody will give a fuck about those bands. What's the point in whingeing? That's not what a band's about. A band should be about having a good time. With your mates."
Singer Tom Meighan explained his distaste for the recently formed then disbanded Test Icicles: "What a bunch of wankers! Give it up, mate. King's Cross rent boys, we call 'em - all those bands."
The band also called Pete Doherty "a fucking tramp", and The Automatic "horrible". Which is lovely.
