mp-FREE: The Kooks cover Coldplay's "Violet Hill"

Jul 06, 08

Recorded live on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 1 show "Live Lounge" (which, if you know anything about The Kooks is a great spot for the band to unveil their favorite cover versions), this job by the band of fellow Englishmen Coldplay's Viva La Vida... track makes us realize that it's totally okay for us not to like Chris Martin's group, so long as other bands are willing to make better versions of their most popular songs.  The Kooks' latest record, Konk, is out now and the guys play Central Park Summerstage on September 10.
