The band’s 9th studio album, with their last 7 all going straight in at #1 in the UK Official Album Chart, Act III was produced by Serge Pizzorno and Mark Ralph at The Sergery and Club Ralph. Draped in Serge’s instantly recognisable hazy vocals, the album is 10 tracks of guitar-driven, psyche-infused pop and 3 interludes. Packed to the brim with hooks and a strong dose of swagger, the album cements Kasabian as one of the UK’s most essential bands of the 21st century. A culmination not just of the last six years with Serge at the helm, but Kasabian’s entire career, the album looks forward while taking aspects from the band’s earliest days with a visceral raw energy.Kasabian are: Serge Pizzorno, Chris Edwards, Ian Matthews and Tim Carter.
