Kooked Out has crafted their sound by taking influences from the likes of instrumental surf music, 70s punk rock, psychedelic rock, and the raw blues. This combination creates quirky yet melodic songs with replay value. The guitar tones are similar to those found on the records of surf greats, such as, Dick Dale and The Ventures. The groovy surf beats compliment the driving bass. Artists like The Buzzcocks, The Sex Pistols, and The Clash have influenced our aggression and energy on stage and in the studio. Our wacky live performance and vocal attack reflects that of The Black Angels while maintaining catchy pop hooks like The Beatles. The feel and grit of authentic American blues artists like Son House and Robert Johnson gives our sound passion and soul.
