The Kooks: 'We're Going To Surpass Britpop'

It seems that top ten records and unabated adulation from Radio 1 listeners have finally taken their toll on The Kooks.

Bouffant haired frontman Luke Pritchard believes that together with the likes of Mystery Jets and Jamie T, his band could eclipse the mid-nineties glory days for guitar music.

He blathered to the NME: “"I think what we're all doing could surpass Britpop because the musicians that we know seem to be up for anything. It's that whole non-cliqueiness thing. If you ask them to come and have a jam with you, they're gonna do it.

"So that's what we're gonna do, it's gonna be great."

Yeah right, Luke.

With the exception of You Don’t Love Me, they make me want to fall asleep. Did you see the Kooks / Razorlight beef in the NME the other week? Could duller bands argue?!

How dare he speak out like that ”Britpop” was a massive 90’s thing and to say he reckons he can surpass britpop is so bigheaded why dosnt he say he will bring back britpop instead of moving away from it. i like the kooks but that has annoyed me, he should just add to britpop style instead of moving away from it, whats he gonna call it indie pop???
