Bad Habit / Around Town / Forgive & Forget

The Kooks, a British boy band that has been around for 10 years (never to be confused with 1D, thank goodness), is back and releasing a new album, Listen (which I'll be sure to do), due out September 5. They have been dropping singles left and right to lead up to it, and thus far, Listen seems like it will be a phenomenal album. My favorites so far are "Bad Habit," "Around Town," and "Forgive & Forget," which all exude a contagious upbeat rhythm alongside a most sultry electric guitar. These tracks convey that this group comes from a multitude of incredible influences as they integrate the classic rock group sound in an astoundingly contemporary way.
