The Kaiser Chiefs frontman

talks about rejection

Talking about where it all began for the Kaiser Chiefs, Ricky said, "Every single record company said no to us for about ten years. Some friends of ours called The Ordinary Boys got their label to sign us as a favour.

"Our demo had our songs, Oh My God and Modern Way on it and no one signed us. A lot of people got sacked!"
