SYNOPSIS
“Listening to a Kooks record is fun—there really isn’t another word for it. The foursome plays guitar-fueled Britpop for people who still believe that pop music should be raw and doesn’t need any bells and whistles to make you want to dance. In person, watching the Kooks is nothing short of pure joy.”
– CMJ
“A broad musical taste that brings elements of Jack Johnson-styled folk and XTC jerk-pop to their unbridled, youthful joie de vivre.”
– Q Magazine

They have released three studio albums; their 2006 debut Inside In/Inside Out, their 2008 follow up Konk and in 2011 their latest release Junk of the Heart.
The Kooks broke into the musical mainstream with their debut album Inside In/Inside Out (2006). The album was ultimately successful, achieving quadruple platinum status in the UK within a year and also overseas in the form of a platinum certification in Australia and two times platinum in Ireland. The Kooks found themselves entering into mainstream media attention, with the band winning the award for Best UK & Ireland Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2006 and picking up a nomination at The Brit Awards for the single She Moves in Her Own Way.
Three years after Konk, Junk Of The Heart is like a whole new band. Over the last nine months the Kooks have reimagined what it is they do, what they are for and now they seem stronger and happier than ever. Their mission was to move on, to never repeat themselves, and the new record shows they’ve certainly done that. It’s upbeat—its an album to play in the sun.
