The Kooks

I am going to start a new weekly department (yet to be named/designed), where I highlight some bands that I feel need a little recognition.

I will try to embed playlists like I did this week; otherwise, it will be my thoughts and links/photos.
Week One highlights UK punk/rock act The Kooks. The Kooks have been blowing up the scene both in America and overseas. They invoke thoughts of vintage UK punk acts like the Clash, Kinks, The Smiths and I'm sure they spent a lot of time listening to the Rolling Stones, The Ramones and Velvet Underground. Here is a link to their site:THE KOOKS.

  1. I yanked the playlist off because it was getting oppressive when it would play automatically. Hope you enjoyed it; can't wait for this week's artist. Much closer to home.

  2. The Kooks are very solid. If you're going to highlight someone else, consider the Young Knives - very similar, raw sound.
