New album by british indie hero’s ‘ The Kooks. Some of you might say this album was already released some weeks ago by a group called BnL (The_Kooks-Konk-2008-BnL, pred 18.03. But now we get the real deal from respected grp DV8, tagged as retail. No Loser Stuff from BnL ;>. Anyways i fell in love with this band when they scored a hit with ’she moves in her own way’. Sweet Candy!

The band formed at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music, where they were all students. Lead singer & rhythm guitarist Luke Pritchard got bassist Max Rafferty involved in a college project, which formed the base of the b&. After getting lead guitarist Hugh Harris and drummer Paul Garred involved, they chose a band name from a song off the 1971 David Bowie album Hunky Dory, entitled “Kooks”. When Virgin tried to trademark the name, they found that in the late/mid 1990s a Swedish band by the same name released a single in Sweden called “Too Much of Nothing”.

The Kooks released a debut EP & played Brighton’s Free Butt festival, & were instantly signed to Virgin Records. Pritchard wrote The Kooks’ hit song “Naïve” when he was only fifteen years old, which after release catapulted the debut album, Inside In/Inside Out into the UK Top 20 charts for more than half of 2006. The CD has sold more than a million copies & has attained triple platinum status. During a promo tour, the band refused to be interviewed on Channel 4’s Popworld after presenter Simon Amstell made repeated references to Pritchard’s ex-girlfriend, Katie Melua.
