So, turns out it's Artic Monkeys' fault that The Kooks have become so bloody popular this year - damn you Arctic Monkeys. Though, to be fair, it wasn't due to any proactive work on their part. Or at least this is what chief Kook Luke Pritchard reckons. He told NME: "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 of it [the Arctic Monkey's much hyped debut album] because it was so monster and we crept in behind everybody's back. Arctic Monkeys shielded us from having too much attention."
