Brown Slams Kasabian

Former [Stone Roses](https://www.contactmusic.com/stone-roses) frontman [Ian Brown](https://www.contactmusic.com/ian-brown) has slammed branded rockers Kasabian as frauds, because they hide their middle-class roots.

Brown is disgusted by the band's carefully cultivated image and has blasted them for turning his beloved working class philosophies into an ugly caricature.

He says, "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.

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