The band has been compared with the likes of Primal Scream, with whom it shares an electronica-indie rock fusion, and Oasis, with whom it shares confidence, swagger and rough vocal style.

Kasabian was a supporting act for Oasis during the latter's 2005 Don't Believe the Truth-supporting tour, about which they commented: "You can't fuck with Oasis." Kasabian has been described as "Music made by the people for the people."

The band, apparently seeking publicity, retreated to an English farmhouse for the duration of the recording of its self-titled debut, Kasabian.

The song "Club Foot" is dedicated to Jan Palach and is now featuring on popular football game Pro Evolution Soccer 5, is soon to appear on the video game Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. "Club Foot" has also appeared in a trailer of the movie, Serenity, and a commercial for Chef Boyardee. The song "L.S.F" featured on the popular football game FIFA 2004. The song "Reason is Treason" is on the opening video of the best-selling racing simulator Gran Turismo 4. (The version of "Reason is Treason" featured is a remix which can be found seven minutes into the final track, "U-Boat," on Kasabian's self-titled album.)
