Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard has said that bands like The Pigeon Detectives are responsible for diluting British indie music.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Pritchard said that he no longer felt like he was part of the scene that was created in 2005.
“When we first came out it was a cool time, with the Kaisers, Arctics and Bloc Party on the same circuit.
“I don’t think many people would place us with those acts, but at the time I really felt part of that whole movement.
“It’s funny what’s followed. Bands like The Pigeon Detectives took what was there and slightly diluted it.”
The Kooks will head off on a US tour in September in support of their second album 'Konk'.
The second single from the album, entitled 'Shine On', is released this month.
