Song of the Day: The Kooks – Ooh La

If English indie band The Kooks seem like they’re a fresh face, they are; only they’re not. They’ve been together since 2004, but only released two albums  – most recently 2008′s Konk - which may or may not be the sound of their popularity ramming the docks of the States.

Part of the fun of discovering a band massively popular overseas who finally finds success here in the USA is digging through the band’s old work. In this case, that’s only one album – 2006′s Inside In/Inside Out - but it does bear several Willy Wonka golden tickets, including “Ooh La.”
