The Kooks have taken an albeit small swipe at Johnny Borrell after the Razorlight frontman slagged them off in the NME.
On the Kooks, Borrell told NME: "I heard their single on the radio the other day and it sounds like fucking Avril Lavigne! If he can live with himself after that production, and if he feels like he has to slag people off to keep up, then I'm sure his nights are long and those moments of doubt are really painful. For a start, he models his style on me. And that record is the most horrible thing I've ever heard. It sounds like the band are literally rolling over, sticking their arse in the air and begging Radio 1 to fuck them. So fuck The Kooks. Fuck 'em!"
Presumably responding to those comments, The Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard told his audience at their London Astoria gig last week that he was dedicating his band's song 'Naïve' to Mr Borrell. The NME reckon this is the Kooks "going to war" with Razorlight, which strikes me as a bit of an exaggeration, but still, we like a good indie feud here at CMU, so let's hope Borrell sees it that way. Fight to the death I say - I mean, I'm not sure either would be that great a loss to Planet Indie.
