The Kooks: 'We Owe Our Success To Arctic Monkeys'
|
|
The Kooks have offloaded stacks of praise and gratitude to Arctic Monkeys for the amazing year the Brighton boys have endured since the release of their debut album 'Inside In/Inside Out'.
Singer Luke Pritchard said:
"God bless the Arctic Monkeys because if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have been so shielded. We were so overshadowed by the success it (their album) because it was so monster and we crept in behind everybody's back. Arctic Monkeys shielded us from having too much attention."
Guitarist Hugh Harris was equally amazed at the success of the fastest-selling Arctic Monkeys debut album:
"How can not be impressed by that? It's amazing. It's incredible what they've done."
