<P> The Kooks are an English pop rock band formed in 2004 in Brighton . The band currently consists of Luke Pritchard (vocals / rhythm guitar), Hugh Harris (lead guitar / synth), Alexis Nunez (drums), and Peter Denton (bass guitar). The original bassist was Max Rafferty, and the founding drummer was Paul Garred . The lineup of the band remained constant until the departure of Rafferty in 2008 . Dan Logan served as a temporary replacement, until Peter Denton joined the band permanently in October 2008 . Early in 2010, Pritchard announced the departure of drummer Paul Garred, due to a nerve problem in his arm . Late in the year, Garred rejoined for studio sessions, however Chris Prendergast played drums when the band played live . Garred finally left in November 2011 after the release of their third album, Junk of the Heart . </P> <P> In 2012, the band was accompanied on drums by Robden Alexis Nunez (from Golden Silvers), who eventually joined the band full - time . </P> <P> A self - described "pop" band, their music is primarily influenced by the 1960s British Invasion movement and post-punk revival of the new millennium . With songs described as "catchy as hell", The Kooks have experimented in several genres including rock, Britpop, pop, reggae, ska, and more recently, funk and hip - hop, being described once as a "more energetic Thrills or a looser Sam Roberts Band, maybe even a less severe Arctic Monkeys at times". </P> <P> Signed to Virgin Records just three months after forming, The Kooks broke into the musical mainstream with their debut album Inside In / Inside Out (2006). The album was ultimately successful, achieving quadruple platinum status in the UK within a year and also overseas in the form of a platinum certification in Australia and two times platinum in Ireland . The Kooks found themselves entering into mainstream media attention, with the band winning the award for Best UK & Ireland Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2006 and picking up a nomination at The Brit Awards for the single "She Moves in Her Own Way". With their follow - up Konk (2008) debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart, it recorded first week sales of 65,000, achieving gold status in both the UK and Ireland . Their third studio album, entitled Junk of the Heart, was released on 12 September 2011 . Their most recent album Listen was released on 8 September 2014 and debuted at No. 16 on the UK Albums Chart . </P>
