Kasabian weren't on the nominations list for this year's BRIT Awards and it is probably just as well, having labelled this year's show 'awful from start to finish'.

The BRITs have also come under fire from Jake Bugg and Robbie Williams, who wrote a song poking fun at the event, and now Kasabian have joined in.

Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, frontman Tom Meighan said that the event was "from start to finish, just absolutely tiring. Absolutely awful, bad TV, James 'Corduroy' probably live his last life. I don't mind the guy, but even he was struggling, you know? And that said a lot."

Guitarist Serge Pizzorno added, "Just awful. You've got Simon Cowell sat there like the king of the world, he should be petrified. I remember watching that programme years ago... Someone like that should be scared to even go and show his face because there are some real musicians there, you know?

"He's sat there with his arms around the kids like the king and you're thinking, you shouldn't even dare get out there and show your face, mate. You know what I mean? This is British music, get away."

"Everyone knows it," agreed Meighan. "It was awful from start to finish, and everyone knows it, it was terrible."

"I hope it's the sign for the change and that will mark the end of that period, whatever it was," finished Pizzorno.

However, Ed Sheeran recently said that the BRITs were actually better than the Grammys. 

“People are allowed to drink at the BRITs so they get a bit more loose and they get on,” Sheeran explained.

“I think with the Grammys, people tend to get on only in front of the camera. And sitting there I was thinking, ‘These people hate each other’.”
