Now here's something.

Have you heard of The Kooks? If you haven't, you should get out from under that rock and check these boys out. Hailing from the UK (obviously. What else do I talk about) The Kooks have already gone triple platinum in their home country, and are starting to invade the US with their unique brand of catchy brit rock. Following in the steps of those already prominent in the US (Bloc Party, Dirty Pretty Things, etc) this band have caught the wave from England and are riding it into the US market in a big way. Most recently, the boys have been an impressive feature on MTV's "You Hear It First" hailing their recent accomplishments, as well as sold out tour dates across the US and UK. I remember hearing their demo for 'Eddie's Gun' on Radio 1 a year or so ago and knowing that they would hit it big, but I never anticipated this level of popularity. The Kooks have just released their first record "Inside/In, Inside/Out" in the US, and I highly recommend a listen. Ooh La La indeed.
