Call it the last gasp of the religious right after the nation resoundingly rejected their chosen party's principles- it seems some of the quacks calling themselves "Christians" are now using their theology as a weapon against the new President-elect. Here's a bit of the craziness from a disturbing piece on Newsweek;No wonder, then, that Obama triggers such fear in the hearts of America's millenni

The Kooks are another quintessentially British band. formed in Brighton 4 years ago at the beginning of 2004, their debut album Inside In/Inside Out was a phenomenal success: debuting within the top 2 on the UK album chart and doing consistently well around the world. now they're back with sophomore album Konk and the first single 'Always Where I Need To Be' is seriously tearing up the airwaves. y
The Kooks are out with the video to their new single 'Shine On', the second release from the Brighton, England indie rock group's second album 'Konk', out now on Virgin Records. Watch it below the fold.
Shine On será pues el segundo single del nuevo trabajo de The Kooks. Me ha gustado el vídeo por su tratamiento estético, y la canción es de las mejores del disco, que no es mucho decir pero bueno, ahí va.
I’ve never been a big fan of the Kooks - to me they have been the McFly of the indie world, stage school brats with poppy fluffy anthems, and most recent single Always Where I Need To Be didn’t really do much to dispel this theory.
I must admit that the rest of this album wasn’t [...]

The Kooks released a fine debut 2006 called Inside In/Inside Out, and return with Konk a bit louder, a bit more composed, and a bit more in the favor of the British rock titans they've always adored.

The Kooks - Konk - 2008 (60.95 MB) 2do disco en grande desta bandita inglesa q se formara en 2004. Regresan recargados de mucha energía punk con trallazos de garage rock, acústicas melodías simples, pegajosas y el indie rock que siempre los caracterizó en su primer trabajo, aunq no tan estable como éste. Me resultaron una gran sorpresa, aprecio su simpleza en sus composiciones. [Tracklist en comentarios]
Este 2008 viene cargado de muchas buenas sorpresas y buenos discos (The Black Crowes, The Raconteurs, Elle Milano, Blind Melon, The Last Shadow Puppets, The Mars Volta, Black Mountain, Dead Meadow, Vampire Weekend, Panic at the Disco, Caesars, MGMT, Mistery Jets, The Black Keys, Supergrass, Nada Surf... entre otros) q consolidan a artistas q debutaron en años anteriores, el caso de The Kooks vendieron demasiado en el 2006, y este año regresan con un arrasador album punk alegrón, garage rock y demás trucos que logran enganchar en el oyente. El viernes 11 Abril se presentan con 2 temas: Always Where I Need to Be / Mr Maker.PD: [Ya regresa Jamin78 con mucho material para compartir con los amantes de la música]
Hace cuestión de dos años, esta banda nacida en Brighton, Inglaterra, logró una popularidad tremenda en su tierra con su disco debut Inside In/Inside Out. Buenos comentarios de la crítica y felicidad entre sus fans. Una maravilla. The Kooks era la renovación del panorama del rock británico. Sin embargo, hace poco menos de tres meses el bajista de la banda se retiró, dejando a la agrupación sólo con tres integrantes. Y un nuevo disco. Konk es el reciente trabajo de The Kooks, y sigue con la onda de su disco debut. De Konk se desprende Always Where I Need To Be, primer sencillo del disco que confirma la onda rockera del ahora trío británico. ¿Superarán a su primer disco?Naive fue uno de los temas que forma parte de Inside In/Inside Out. Con esa canción, empezaron a abrirse terr
I finally got around to listening to this new album, and I uphold my feelings about how this is sweet summer indie rock. It's a pretty feel good album. Konks just dropped 2 days ago here in the U.S. and it's received some mixed reviews...come on why you gotta hate?! J/K! Everyone needs a little indie Brit pop here & there and it's pretty happy stuff! The Kooks, as you would have guessed, have a big "world" tour that's quickly selling out. You can pick the album up here. And we got two tracks for you, check them out!Always Where I Need To BeDown To The Market

They were an bunch of improbably lucky up-and-comers and they were on a very limited six- or eight-city tour of the US. There was some talk of promoting the new upcoming CD project on both side of the Atlantic. Then, it happened.Somebody decided things were going to be big for this band. Virgin Records hired marketers and publicists (lots of them) to sell the little band to the world. This band wasn't manufactured to succeed but they were offered a dangling pendent called oppo

Tick Of Time será el próximo single de Konk el reciente segundo disco de los británicos The Kooks.
El álbum finalmente no ha cumplido de todo las espectativas que teníamos de escuchar un gran trabajo cómo Inside In/Inside Out. Sin ser un mal disco, no tiene la energía ni la inmediatez del anterior. Es una obra que debe ser escuchada varias veces para encontrar su auténtico valor. Un trabajo

"KONK" NUEVO ÁLBUM DE THE KOOKSPor María VegaAunque parezca un juego de palabras con el nombre del grupo, no, no lo es. "Konk", sencillamente, es el estudio en el que el cuarteto de Brighton han grabado este segundo álbum, producido por Tony Hoffer (productor de Beck, Air y The Fratellis), que llega casi dos años después del exitoso primer álbum, "Inside In Inside Out", con el que se dieron a conocer los ingleses.Se han tomado su tiempo para no defraudar al ansioso público, y volver con temas que siguen la línea de su álbum début, canciones sencillas que se centran en el amor y las relaciones de pareja, y que ellos saben darles el ritmo y sonido necesarios para convertirlas en únicas. Algunos de los temas que ya prometen, según la crítica y los programas de radio ingleses, son

Finally we have some more details on the new Kooks album. The band recently revealed some information exclusively to NME.
Their sophomore effort will be titled Zonk, after the studio they recorded in, and will be released in March or April 2008.
"The Kooks - Konk sounded right," frontman Luke Pritchard said.
The band currently has 16 songs for the album that they will likely narrow down to 14. Track titles include "See The Sun", "Shine On', "Do You Wanna (Make Love To Me)", "Disappear", "Lonely Cat", "Sway", and "Stormy Weather".
The Kooks show from XFM's 10 Year Birthday will be aired on 104.9 (London) 105.7-106.1 (Scotland) and 97.7 (Manchester). This Sunday (11/11/07). Dont forget tune in at 7PM*§ource: The Kooks' myspace*
And on today's show we have...Inside In/Inside OutThe KooksThe Kooks have balls. Call it the brazenness of youth, or Brighton, there's no denying that Luke Pritchard (please, please refrain from Star Trek jokes) and his just out of jumpers band of merry men... boys, are a confident bunch. Inside In/Inside Out is more than just a debut album for The Kooks. It's the sign of big things to come from a band that has already sold over 1.5 million copies of a record that was released just over a year ago.Frankly, the UK is just bursting at the seams with a wave of new, post-Britpop, not-Coldplay bands. The View, The Fratellis, The Horrors - all ascribing to an urban sensibility with the disclaimer of heavy accents, FOUR-chord riffs and enough innuendo for you to maintain your very own dictionary of metaphors and narratives. And where one band becomes 'cliche', another becomes 'revival'. It's a confusing scene that could do with a little shake-up once in a while. The Kooks manage to fu
