- The Kooks( 初哥樂隊 )【 共收藏 224 首歌 】
- 對於這組來自英國南部渡假勝地Brighton的四人樂團(主唱Luke Pritchard、吉它手Hugh Harris、貝斯手Max Rafferty,以及鼓手Paul Garred),每個人都有話要說。NME說:「放眼當今流行樂壇年輕新世代,The Kooks的主唱兼創作核心Luke Pritchard,為其中最優秀的唱作人之一。」,WHAT’S ON說:「The Kooks是我們2005年所見,最傑出優異的現場演出樂隊。」,英國衛報說:「他們創造出繼The Strokes的『Last Nite』之後,最生猛有勁的年輕獨立搖滾作品。」,除了這些叮叮噹噹的讚譽和頭銜之外,他們於2005年發表的首支單曲Eddie’s Gun,更同時被英國衛報與太陽報選做當週最佳單曲。
做為樂隊的創作中心,尚未滿20歲的主唱Luke認為,音樂創作除了不該畫地自限,更毋需畏懼走向大眾流行,這樣成熟的想法豎立了他們豐富多元且悅耳的音樂風格。年輕的The Kooks(其中吉它手Hugh不過才十七歲)初生之犢不怕虎,重現Supergrass與Blur剛闖盪樂壇時的青春無敵。他們更自詡成為一組讓人跟著起舞的搖滾樂隊,樂隊首張以男性勃起障礙為主題的單曲Eddie’s Gun,與第二張單曲Sofa Song,相繼面市後就宣告目標達成,讓眾多傳媒紛紛加碼買進。事實上Luke那把近期樂團少見的神奇嗓音,給人一種不管怎麼唱,唱什麼都好聽的驚喜,然而搭配樂隊優異的創作能力與絕佳的默契,讓人體會到「與其頻頻回首,盼望著老團再現當初水平,不如看看這旭日初昇帶來的璀燦亮麗」的道理。
初哥樂隊(The Kooks)是一隊來自英國布賴頓的搖滾樂隊,成立於2004年,風格為後朋克音樂。

簡介
2006年發行首張專輯《翻天覆地 Inside In / Inside Out》後,The Kooks締造全球2百萬張的驚人銷量,他們先後入圍角逐Q雜誌、MTV歐洲音樂大獎與全英音樂獎等年度重要獎項,並一舉奪下英國Radio 1聽眾票選「2006年最佳樂隊」頭銜。首張專輯發行後,The Kooks很爭氣地一路攀升至英國金榜亞軍,今天他們則帶著全新大碟《KONK》重返樂壇,破除許多新興樂隊後繼無力的恐怖魔咒,此次二度出輯The Kooks氣勢強壓樂壇老將新秀,成功空降英國金榜冠軍寶座。現年22歲的主唱Luke Pritchard,身為樂隊的創作靈魂,他擅長以流行旋律表現搖滾、放克、靈魂與雷鬼等不同曲風,他筆下的歌詞簡潔有力,總是能夠輕易觸動樂迷的心。
2007年英國媒體首度披露,The Kooks在人事上面臨前所未見的挑戰,甚至一度出現他們可能解散的傳言。而貝斯手Max Rafferty脫隊的消息,在2008年1月底正式獲得樂隊證實,目前他的遺缺由同鄉樂隊Cat The Dog的貝斯手Dan Logan暫時頂替。
雖然歷經人事變動,2008年對The Kooks卻是一個全新的開始,他們先是靠著第二張專輯的主打單曲〈Always Where I Need To Be〉打入全英單曲榜第3名,今(2008)年甫於4月底發行的最新大碟《KONK》,更直接空降全英專輯榜冠軍。
當初The Kooks在首張專輯錄製期間,總計創作了整整21首作品,這次為了籌備第二張專輯,樂隊則足足寫了將近90首歌曲,而去蕪存菁的結果你正拿在手上。專輯名稱《KONK》主要是根據他們本次選用的錄音室來命名,位於英國倫敦的KONK,是英國經典樂隊The Kinks主唱Ray Davies的個人名下財產,也是The Kooks完成音樂再進化的主要據點。事實上除了倫敦的KONK,本張專輯的錄音地點還包括同樣位於倫敦的RAK錄音室,團員們甚至還遠渡重洋,親自造訪美國好萊塢的錄音室Sound Factory。由於雙方對於上次合作成果都感到十分滿意,此次The Kooks二度邀請首張專輯製作人Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Belle & Sebastian)回鍋監製。流行悅耳的旋律始終是The Kooks創作的根本,他們這一次在後製工作上花費了更多心力,在編曲與混音上更加嚴謹要求,保有搖滾與實驗精神,卻不給人憤世嫉俗的壓力。主打單曲〈Always Where I Need To Be〉副歌部份的do-do-do哼唱與拍手聲,十分傻氣俏皮,營造出過耳難忘的絕佳感染力;〈Do You Wanna〉的吉他飆奏,展現他們前所未見的強悍,Luke的聲音不僅未見退縮,還在亢奮與低迴中變換自如;〈Sway〉中吉他手Hugh Harris展現他精湛的彈奏技巧;〈Mr. Maker〉是樂隊捏造出來的虛構人物;〈One Last Time〉、〈Gap〉兩首歌曲,則是讓人揪心的慘情告白。
