That's great! Konk is an awesome record, and I'm sure the songs on RAK are going to be great as well!

Arctic Monkeys are the most overrated band in Britain. Sure they're good but not THAT good. The Kooks are pure British music geniuses. Under rated if anything. Can't wait for Konk and Rak its been to long!!
