Above: The Kooks' own Luke Pritchard, left, and Paul Garred.
This week The Kooks album KONK is finally here. You probably heard their single "Always Where I Need To Be" and we think its their best song yet. The Kooks really have great things in store for them this year. Check out their tour dates here.
Some other notables: Supergrass, the English rock band from Oxford are set to go with their album Diamond Hoo Ha. We recommend watching their zany video for "Alright" here. On the more popular side of things is Everclear with The Vegas Years. Everclear has now been around 14 years since their start in 1994.
If you're looking for some pop/punk, we recommend checking out Kill Your Ex. They're not morbid or depressing - it's pop/punk at its best. Hop on it. If you haven't checked out our M83 article, please do so. And lastly, the boys who have been around the block, yet keep getting better and better; I'm talking about Phantom Planet with their release of Raise The Dead.
Oh, and don't forget South (remember "Paint The Silence"?) and Frightened Rabbit, whom we just posted an mp3 for our Mix For The Weekend.
