The Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard says he believes that the Arctic Monkeys career in America has flat-lined.

In comparison, the singer said that The Kooks were “really going great” in the US thanks to some high profile radio play.

“Arctic Monkeys have just died over there. They were huge for their first album but it hasn’t happened with the second one,” Pritchard told the Sun newspaper.

Earlier this year, Pritchard revealed that the Kooks and the Arctic Monkeys had fallen out over an incident at a festival in France.

He claimed that Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner had pulled his guitar cord out during the band's performance.

  • Okay i do have and interest in the Arctic Monkeys and i do not Mind the Kooks if it wasn’t for the front man for some reason having and accent that isn’’t his. Yeah it would be great if the Arctic Monkeys were famous in Aerica but at least that most people from there own Country are fond of them! Sorry how many awards have you won Kooks?

  • Luke has right, the artic monkeys really died over there because they didn’t remembered what their music repersented... britpop... his accent and the oldschool simple english rockn’’roll was cool, but then on their second album they had a lot of girls dancing around in their music videos... the kooks has been keeping it real for sure.. i love your music kooks...
