Kasabian Kasabian
Named after the woman who was the driver for the Manson family's infamous trip to Roman Polanski's house in 1968; Kasabian robe in on the last wave of British bands after marching to the top of the charts overseas. And it did so with an upnured nose and overall disdain for any or all of their contemporaries (straight from the hard streets of rural England, that is). The band stands on the premise of a musical revolution by referencing various revolutionary and preaching "live for today" and "music is life" ideals. It combines guerrilla imagery with socially provoking lyrics to fuel its
ambiguous "revolution." With its self-titled debut, Kasabian blends catchy Bri pop/rock with techno to form something that sounds like Oasis meets Prodigy. The band combines driving beats, catchy hooks, punchy riffs and swirling effects. The music, though catchy, stems mostly from the late '80s dance scene and is hardly as progressive as it is supposed to be. Kasabian has the attitude and the ambition, but they could use some credibility. Listen once, shake your booty, maybe groove a bit, don't take seriously, discard.

Aaron Beckum
A Real Resistance
Torque Records
For his debut effort Aaron Beckum is taking the world onto his shoulders. This album is quirky as hell and just makes you feel comfortable with wearing sweatpants and rocking out with the windows down. Beckum's confidence rolls off his tongue in his sharpened lyrics. The melodies are based around a minimalist structure that does well to stay out of the way of this voice of reason that the world is going to come to love. "Give me a suit with pockets on the inside cause I still have ideas I need to hide".

These Enzymes Henry Doghouse
So two of the dudes from the All American Rejects got sick of wallowing in all of their cash and thought it would be cute to start a hardcore band. This amazing amazingness is the amazing result. The EP is five songs too long and I only got a dollar for it at CD House, which didn't even cover the tax on my double cheese burger. These boys should stick to TRL and stop clogging the used hardcore CD market.
