Not to worry, though; these four Brits from the Brighton Institute of Modern Music proved perfectly capable of living up to their influences. Their finely tuned pop songwriting abilities, all jangly guitars and sing-along lyrics, were immediately apparent with their debut single "Naive," which singer Luke Pritchard claims to have written when he was 16. This hit helped their debut long player, 2006's <i>Inside In/Inside Out</i>, to achieve triple platinum in the UK, with sellout shows following in the US. In 2007 they announced that their pending second album would be produced by Tony Hoffer. - Nicholas BakerBrit Rocken720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:00:56 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11113636&rws=%2Fthe-kooks%2Ftop-tracks.rss Taking their name from a David Bowie track on <i>Hunky Dory</i>, which in turn was a word the Dame was using to describe his infant son, The Kooks risked accusations of cute posing before even playing a note.
