Kaiser Chiefs

This Leeds outfit brought scrappy, energetic indie rock to mid-2000s MTV with videos that matched their garage-band swagger. "Ruby" and "I Predict A Riot" featured lo-fi, playful visuals that felt like home videos blown up to stadium size, while the band's deadpan humor and raw performance energy made them stand out from slicker contemporary acts. Their clips captured the scrappy DIY spirit of British indie at its peak.
