When The Kooks are in the studio they’re focused and most importantly, sober. Watch Hugh and Luke explain their reasoning below.

Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.

Sam Roberts, Divine Brown, Serena Ryder, The Stills and Crystal Shawanda have been added to the list of performers for this year’s Juno Awards.
The show is taking place at Vancouver’s GM Place on March 29 and will air on CTV starting at 9 p.m. EST.
Previously announced performers include Sarah McLachlan, Nickleback, City and Colour and Simple Plan. Additional performers and presenters will be announced in the coming days.
Comedian Russell Peters, who won a Gemini Award for hosting the Junos last year, will return as master of ceremonies.
Nickleback has the most nominations this year with five. Roberts is close behind with four nods, while Celine Dion and Hedley have three each.
The announcement of this year’s Juno nominations on Tuesday was accompanied by word of “The 2009 Junos Awards” compilation, which will hit stores on March 3.
The album features eighteen nominees from the major rock and pop categories, including City and Colour, Michael Buble, Nickleback, Hedley, The Lost Fingers, Sam Roberts and Serena Ryder.
The project, to be distributed by Warner Music Canada, is a joint venture between Canada’s four major record companies and the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS).
Proceeds from the non-profit package will be donated to the MusiCounts music education charity associated with CARAS. The charity is dedicated to helping schools sustain their music programs through Band Aid musical instrument grants and scholarships, as well as by honouring extraordinary music teachers.
“Much of the Canadian music released in the past year was recognized internationally and The 2009 JUNO Awards compilation is just a small taste of this country’s wonderfully diverse music scene,”
said Warner Music Canada President Steve Kane in a statement.
“That this series of albums has been so successful is proof positive of the public’s support of homegrown talent. That the proceeds help MusiCounts is one way of assuring that our culture has an opportunity to grow.”
Nominations for the 2009 Juno Awards were unveiled Tuesday, with Nickelback receiving five nods to lead the field.
The band will contend in the fan choice, best group, producer (with Joey Moi), single (“Gotta Be Somebody”) and album (“Dark Horse”) categories.
The other nominees vying for best album are Hedley (“Famous Last Words”), Simple Plan (“Simple Plan”), Sylvain Cosette (“70′s Volume 2″) and The Lost Fingers (“Lost in the 80′s”).
Close behind Nickelback was Sam Roberts with four nods, including artist of the year and a double nomination for best video (“Detroit ’67″ and “Them Kids,” both by Dave Pawsey).
Hedley and Celine Dion are also multiple-award nominees, scoring three each.
A complete list of nominees can be found on the Juno website here.
As previusly reported, Sarah McLachlan will receive the Allan Waters Humantarian Awards and perform at the awards ceremony. Newly announced performers include Nickleback, City and Colour and Simple Plan, with more to be revealed in the coming weeks.
The Juno Awards, with returning host Russell Peters, will take place March 29 in Vancouver.
You know the performers; now organizers have revealed the names of those who will be announcing winners and doling out trophies at the upcoming Juno Awards.
Among those who will present at the ceremony are IllScarlett, Tom Cochrane, Jesse Cook, Belly, Deborah Cox, Serena Ryder, Sophie Milman, Suzie McNeil, Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, Canadian Music Hall Of Fame inductee Ian Tyson and Canadian Heritage Minister Josee Verner.
The Juno Fan Choice Award will be presented by the winner of the Doritos Ultimate Fan contest. The artists up for the award this year are Michael Bublé, Celine Dion, Claude Dubois, Nelly Furtado and Avril Lavigne.
As previously announced, the show will feature performances by Bublé, Lavigne, Feist, Finger Eleven, Hedley, Jully Black and Measha Brueggergosman, among others.
Comedian Russell Peters will host the festivities at Calgary’s Pengrowth Saddledome.
Pop-punksters Hedley and R&B singer Jully Black will round out the lineup of 15 musical acts taking the stage at the 2008 Juno Awards, organizers announced Wednesday.
They join previously announced performers Feist, Finger Eleven, Avril Lavigne, Michael Bublé and Measha Brueggergosman for the April 6 ceremony at Calgary’s Pengrowth Saddledome.
As well, Anne Murray will duet with Jann Arden and Sarah Brightman, while an all-country musical tribute to the host city and province will feature Aaron Lines, Gord Bamford, Johnny Reid, Paul Brandt and Shane Yellowbird.
Hedley have had a total of six Junos nominations since 2006, and go into this year’s gala with a Group of the Year nod.
Black, who was nominated for her first Juno in 1999, is up for R&B/Soul Recording of the Year and Single of the Year.
The 2008 Junos, hosted by Russell Peters, will air on CTV.
CTV announced on Wednesday that most of Canada would be seeing the Juno Awards on a tape delay, with the broadcast beginning at 10 p.m. in most regions and as late as 11 p.m. in the Maritimes.
But after the immediate backlash from the music industry, CTV and CARAS, the organization that runs the show, changed their minds and the Junos will air live from Saskatoon as planned to most of the country.
“[Members of the music community] were feeling that it looked like we were treating Canadian music in a way that made us look like second-class citizens,” CARAS Chair Stephen Stohn said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday afternoon.
The Junos will air live from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. ET in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada with a half-hour red carpet show airing at 6:30 p.m. The awards will air taped from 7-9 local time in Alberta and 9-11 local time in BC, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
The move means that people attending the Junos, to be hosted by Nelly Furtado, will have to be in the building two hours earlier. Instead of a 7 p.m. local start time, it will now begin with a 5 p.m. local start time, with the red carpet to begin at 3:30 p.m local time.
The initial decision to air the show on a delay in most regions was so a two-hour episode of the Amazing Race could air.
The red carpet would have been shown before the Amazing Race, and the Junos would have aired after the U.S. reality show.
“Many of the artists that are presenting and performing certainly felt that they would have more of an audience in this [revised] time slot,” Randy Lennox, president of Universal Music Canada, said.
Three of Canada’s most successful artists can now add five Juno nominations each to their resumes.
k-os, Billy Talent and Nelly Furtado are each nominated for five Juno Awards, they found out Tuesday.
andPOP was on hand at the nominations announcement at the Mod Club in Toronto to get the reaction from some of the nominees in attendance, including last year’s Canadian Idol winner Eva Avila, Stabilo, Jacksoul, Dallas Green from Alexisonfire, Neverending White Lights and Keshia Chante.
