They are so good yet not very well known, or appreciated, it makes me angry knowing that more people adore a red headed idiot (I haven't got anything against red heads by the way) singing oh na na a what's my name? while Luke Pritchard of the Kooks is off writing deep, meaningful songs about loads of different things, but mainly love. My favourite story is Sway and I love songs with stories, they are just so much better. Anyway... I'm guessing that what he is trying to say in the song Sway is how he had a friend (probably an ex-band member) who got so hooked on drugs and dependant on them that he became a recluse and just didn't come out and the rest of them loved him and would do anything for him, but in the end he died. Depressing, I know, but stories in songs make it so much more interesting and meaningful.
Here are a couple of my favourites below although I honestly think that out of both their albums they only have one or two under-average songs, they are just amazing and almost every song is just quality. There albums are: Inside in/ Inside out and their second is Konk.
I could not agree more
