Kaisers chuffed at 'cheery' tag? No way!
Chiefs Not Chirpy

We never really had them pegged as easy-listening funsters anyway, but Ricky from Kaiser Chiefs is keen to let the world know his band is on a mission to be mean and moody.

"There's a lot more of a dark side that fuels our song-writing," Ricky told the Gigwise website, insisting fans should try to understand the deeper themes of rejection behind the lyrics. It's full of bitterness."

"'Modern Way' sounds uplifting and triumphant, but it's about the bitterness always underlying. And 'Everyday I Love You Less And Less' - that sounds really p****d off."

Ricky, here's a tip. If you really want people to take you seriously, Mr Chief, try standing still instead of all that jumping about. It might just work!
