10 British bands you may not have realised are still going
The Twang? The Hoosiers? Yup. Still a thing
- The Kooks: They're back - and they've done an Arctic Monkeys. By which we mean, their new single 'Down' is a bit r&b. The band's first new music since their Junk Of The Heart album in 2011, the Brighton band release the track on 20 April - with new album news expected soon. Who'd have thought?

The Kooks revealed their new single, 'Down' this week. That's right - THE KOOKS. No longer just a memory from those hazy days of 2006, the Brighton band are back with the same haircuts, but a brand new sound.
It took us by surprise, we must admit. The Kooks hadn't really crossed our mind for many a month/year, but they're not the only band still doing the rounds, long after their heyday, but still doing very nice for themselves with a committed fanbase, tours and releases.
They may no longer be operating in the mainstream, but it's surprising how many bands from the mid-00s are still plugging away - to various degress of success, some for better, some for worse. These are the 10 British bands you probably didn't realise were still going...
