In an interview with Contact Music, the band said that they think the charts are "overrun by pop" and that Kasabian are one of the only UK acts taking a risk with songs.
Meighan said: "There's a rock 'n' roll drought at the moment, so I'm glad we're here. People are frightened of making records that sound good on the radio."
Pizzorno added: "We've been overrun by pop and I hate that indie attitude. Life's too short to give a f--k."
