More about The Kooks
The Kooks released their debut album Inside In / Inside Out in January 2006. The album featured their biggest hit singles including Naive, She Moves In Her Own Way, You Don’t Love Me and Ooh La. The album was successful, and achieved quadruple platinum status in the UK, a platinum certification in Australia, and two times platinum in Ireland.
The band released a special edition of the album on its 15th anniversary. It featured a remastered audio along with a series of previously unheard demos and alternate takes. The band’s music is influenced by the 1960s British invasion movement and the post-punk revival of the new millennium. The band has also experimented in various genres, including rock, Britpop, pop, reggae, ska, funk, and hip-hop.
The Kooks are now scheduled to release their upcoming album 10 Tracks To Echo In The Dark on July 22 via Lonely Cat and AWAL. The band has so far released seven tracks from the album. They have released two three-song EPs – Connection and Beautiful World, along with the single Cold Heart. The album can be pre-ordered from the band’s official website.
