Kasabian debut new single and name album 'Velociraptor!'

Kasabian debuted their brand new single, 'Switchblade Smiles', on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show last night (June 7). 

The band have been creating hype around their new material for the past few weeks and treated fans to the premiere of their forthcoming record's first release yesterday. In addition to this, they also confirmed that the album's title will be 'Velociraptor!'.

Tom Meighan explained the concept behind some of Kasabian's new music:

"Switchblade Smiles is a warning sign basically."

"We've got a love song on there, 'Goodbye Kiss', which is a heartbreaker. A lot of people are going to break up to it and probably get married to it."

He also added that gig-goers shouldn't expect to hear too much of the band's new material, but they will hear a couple of tracks from the record:

"We'll play Switchblade Smiles and Velociraptor! It's nice to give the audience a little taste of what's to come. When the record's out, it'll be a whole new record."
