The Kooks

[boho_babe]

I've just noticed them, a couple of tracks were on the CD at work so I listened to a few of there songs over and over. . .
I quite like the lead singers voice.
What does everyone think about them . . ?

From http://en.wikipedia.org:

The Kooks are an indie act from Brighton, England who draw on other styles such as post-punk.
Members

• Luke Pritchard: lead vocals, guitar
• Hugh Harris: lead guitar, backing vocals
• Max Rafferty : bass, backing vocals
• Paul Garred: drums, percussion

Their musical style is inspired by Britpop acts such as Supergrass and Blur with reggae undertones and influences such as Bob Dylan and David Bowie.

I adore The Kooks! I heard Eddie's Gun aaages ago and then saw them play at uni last October - they were fab! And Luke Pritchard is a bit of a fittie, imo. Shame he's going out with that detestable Fearne Cotton. Off the album, I 'She Moves In Her Own Way'.

I understand what you mean! I thought that about Eddie's Gun, but I don't think that so much anymore. I like them, but they arent anything too special. They are just pleasant!

I like them, I bought theri Cd some weeks ago and it's really catchy, I'm addicted now to Sofa song, and I also love Seaside, Eddie's gun and You don't love me.

 

[La bordélique]

I really like Ooh La hehe

 

[boho_babe]

Glad to see some response to their thread

We're not normally lucky with the CD's we get sent through, but this was a good one!

The Kooks...my new obsession.

I heard many songs but fell in love...madly...with NAIVE.

The voice in that song is damn hot and I simply can't get enough. And I think the video matches the song really well...just PERFECT!!

LOVE Luke!!

I thinks they're OK, I really like Naive, but I just get the feeling that they're going to be the new It band for a while and then kinda slowly fade away because their songs are catchy but not much else.

The first time I noticed them was on their interview on Popworld, it was so funny

[rachyroo]

Their album is on my 'Must get as soon as possible' list!

I love 'Naive', it's always going round my head. I can't wait to hear the album.

On my list too !!

 

[sphagnum.esplanade]

Hearing "Naive" anymore times could make my ears explode !

I like "Too Much Of Nothing" at the moment.

 

[La bordélique]

Did anyone notice the resemblance of Pulp's "She's A Lady" with the ending part of The Kooks' "I Want You Back"?

STRANGE.

Yes, very much so.
I think their music has a kind of pretentious swagger, but I like that.
