The Kooks

Luke Pritchard (vocals/guitar), Hugh Harris (guitar), Max Rafferty (bass), and Paul Garred (drums) generate the rubbishy garage rock sounds of the Kooks. Named after the song on David Bowie's Hunky Dory, the Kooks met while attending Brighton Music College in the mid-2000s. Each shared a liking for the Police, the Strokes, the Everly Brothers, and Funkadelic, and the bandmates began funneling such influences into their own sweet and precocious sound in 2005. Before the year's end, the British foursome was releasing singles for Virgin UK. "Eddie's Gun" and "Sofa Song" did moderately well on the U.K. singles chart; however, the romantic playfulness of "You Don't Love Me" eventually gave the band its first ever Top 20 hit.

The Kooks' debut full-length, Inside In/Inside Out, arrived in January 2006. The band's fifth single, "Naive," landed at number five by spring. Hot on the heels of their international success, the Kooks made their American performance debut at the annual South by Southwest conference in Austin, TX, in March, and the U.S. version of Inside In/Inside Out arrived on Astralwerks in October 2006. Two years later, the Kooks returned with Konk, an album they hoped had a "bigger" sound than their debut. The album's arrival coincided with the announcement that Rafferty had left the band and was replaced by former Cat the Dog bassist Dan Logan. At the end of 2010 the band returned to the recording studio with producer Tony Hoffer (Beck, Idlewild, The Thrills). Pushing them in a new direction, their third album, 2011’s Junk of the Heart, was the result.~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

Love their sound .Luke's voice is really good
This freaked me out This isn't fake. Apparently, if you copy and paste this on ten comments in the next ten minutes, you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. You will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain you will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. In the next 53 minutes someone will say I love you or I'm sorry
I'm in love with their vocalist, omg! He sounds so dreamy. I love the beats as well! Theri whole genre of Indie and new wave is unfogettable ! Love them, totally like one of the best bands out there. Follow me guys c:

That's a common pattern. Have faith, they will return.

They are very good. However, I am quite disapointed with their most recent material. It is very mainstream . . . to me at least. If you enjoy what Pandora has consider checking out their B-sides like Walk Away, Vitamin Junkie, and Pull Me In. Hugh Harris also sings some beast stuff . . . By My Side, No Longer, and Fa La La La.
The Kooks don't really qualify as a boy band, though...

-Arvis
now this is MY idea of a boy band! love them and his voice (im a sucker for accents)
