The Kooks release Always Where I Need To Be on March 31st 2008 through Virgin Records. The eagerly awaited new album 'Konk' from The Kooks is released on the 14th April. It is their second album, and the follow-up to their hugely successful 2006 debut 'Inside In/Inside Out' which sold some two million copies worldwide. Explaining how he cameto suggest the new album title, guitarist Hugh says, 'I just started thinking how cool the studio is, and how much of a part of our sound it is.'

It promises to be another stellar year for the fourpiece. 'We came through [in 2006] with some great acts - Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Beirut - but, for me, last year was a really wishy-washy time for bands,' says Luke. 'It feels like the time's right for us to come back.'

With shows already lined up in places as far afield as Dubai, Brazil and - oh yes - Hawaii, not to say some very special UK venues ('We want to do things differently,' says Luke. 'Some of those arena venues. who wants to see a band in a tin shed?') plus a truly magical slot at The Isle Of Wight Festival, the outlook for the boys' 2008 is sunny.
