Kooks: 'We'll Conquer America -- Unlike the Arctic Monkeys'

Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard has vowed his band will conquer America � unlike their chart rivals Arctic Monkeys.


Luke said the band's second album Konk was doing really well stateside, whereas the Arctics' popularity has plummeted.


The band, whose debut album Inside In/Inside Out has sold more than a million copies and attained triple platinum status, have just finished touring America and things are looking so good that Luke is splashing out on a New York pad.


He revealed, "It's really going great over there. Radio is really picking up on the album.


"Arctic Monkeys have just died over there. They were huge for their first album but it hasn�t happened with the second one."
