New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Kaiser Chiefs are celebrating 15 years since their multi-platinum breakthrough Employment with the release of their seventh studio album, Duck, on Friday.
The band are back on their original label Polydor for the release. Senior marketing manager Ali Tant says, "To bring the band back to their home label Polydor was an easy decision. The resulting album Duck is a fantastic example of what makes this band special. Nothing but fun, singalong moments. Having the band play to over 20,000 fans at their hometown show at Elland Road back in June was a perfect setup for the record."

The campaign has put a strong focus on the band's home city, Leeds, with indie stalwart Crash Records hosting an album day on Saturday and the band playing four shows at Brudenell Social Club. A bespoke Kaiser Chiefs beer has been created for the campaign and there will be exclusive editions of the vinyl, CD and cassette made available for fans in Leeds including a tri-coloured vinyl.
