Kooks, The - Konk (Album)

THE Kooks have proved critics wrong with the follow-up to their best-selling debut album.

Konk offers a series of charttopping tracks with catchy lyrics and base lines.

Songs Do You Wanna and Love It All are certain to follow the success of Naive and Ooh La from the band’s first album.

On the first listen the album didn’t stand out as being anything different from the dozens of indie bands in the charts.

But after a several plays, the 12 songs that sound like a cross between Coldplay and The Killers became catchy and a must-have for the collection.
