Kasabian's Tom Meighan sings lead vocals on a new single from Leicester band The Lysergic Suite.

The frontman has recorded vocals for the band's song 'Ghosts On Crusade', the lead track on their new EP, which has just been released.

The band's singer and guitarist Gren Spencer told NME: "The collaboration came about when I played Tom the demo tracks from our album, we were in the studio listening, smoking a cigarette out the window and he said, 'Why haven't you asked me to sing on it?'"

He added: "It's got to be one of my proudest moments ever, something that will definitely stay with me. We were recording [the single] the week after, the guy is a legend, he hadn't even heard the song beforehand… I played it him twice and he just went straight in and did it."

Listen to a snippet of the song on The Lysergic Suite's MySpace page, Myspace.com/thelysergicsuite.
