Released at January 6th 2014, "Bows & Arrows" is the first single from Kaiser Chiefs'
fifth studio album "Education, Education, Education & War". Ricky Wilson describes this
song as follows: "when we regrouped and we had to start this record, we all wanted to be
in a band, that's our thing; and bands are like bows and arrows, separate they're 
useless but when you put them together they're formidable". A very exciting track with
smashing high-pitch guitar sound and an explosive melody.
