Kooks: 'Arctics are dead in the US'

Rex Features

The Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard has continued his war of words with the Arctic Monkeys by declaring their US career "dead".

Pritchard, who allegedly kicked Arctics frontman Alex Turner in the face, said the Kooks will be more successful in the US than their rivals.

He told The Sun: "It's really going great over there [in the US]. 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."
