How Popular is KOL outside the U.S

[sianlouisa]

i think theyre pretty popular, i mean most people i talk to know who they are (in the UK), plus their album got to no. 3 in the charts i think.

yeah they're really popular in the UK but here in Switzerland they are more or less unknown.

they're really unknown. i can name maybe 10 people who know them.. they hardly get played on the radio or tv. recently, i heard it for the first time on radio. that was a very special moment for me.

[wonderfulme]

They are really popular in the UK, especially in Scotland...in saying that though, I lack any friends who share my love!

[Hold on to your kite]

Yeah, they are super-popular in the UK but maybe mostly in Scotland as they did play a random show at the biggest venue people usually play.

But yeah, despite this I only know one person who likes them, I'm crossing my fingers for KOL-loving uni roommates.

[havemousewillclick]

I have listened to them for a couple maybe three years now and seen them play in Glasgow three times. And some other venues like t in the park.

I think you either love them or not. I know loads of people that dont like them ! But then again they like stuff i dont !

[kingschik]

they are rly popular in the uk, all their concerts sell out ded quick nd dey've dun glastonbury, leeds nd redding. U only tend 2 hear them on radio stations like kerrang and storm which is crap. But all my mates are still like who the fuk.

[wilderbeast]

[tiran.e.]

[fairyglue]

I understand, I think, and good on you for sticking up for the Kings.

[tiran.e.]

anything for them lol. i care about them too much.

[renee]

I am almost poistive I am their only fan in Missouri, no wonder they won't come to St. Louis again. I keep asking when I meet them at shows, but they don't come.

[tiran.e.]

huggggggg!! ohh well .. it will be ok.. i want them to come to israel but i guess it will never happend :[

[nikola]

i live in australia in melbourne, pretty much anyone i've talked to knows and loves them

[cap]

I'm from Sydney, most of my friends know them.

[wilderbeast]

yay back for the bdo

[caroline, maybe]

kol have been getting a lot more press in the U.S. lately, so more people know about them... but they're still considered underground, and you're still considered "indie" to some degree if you're a kol fan -- even though they're not indie.

[californiaxwaiting]

In the UK they are too big.
Which is not good, they sell out shows.
They even have extra crew members when over here, including a chef.
But it has its good points...

[lily]

i live in glasgow too, and they are big, like the gigs are sold out, but people are never talking about them, i really like them and think they are the hottest guys in the world , other people think they are hot as well, but they are not that much talked about, which i kinda like, cos i dont want them to become pure huge, cos then they will be like coldplay or oasis, which i dont want them to become like, i like them being not well known, if you catch my drift

[Towie-Boo]

theyre not very big here in sweden.
I mean most people have heard of them but not listened to their music

[kickedbacteria]

yeah...in the uk they are way to big....i tried to get tickets all the time while i was in london and i couldn't ...sucks being me....
as for other countries, well, in austria they're biggish and in romania they're inexistant...i try to talk to peeps about them and they just go huh?....plus, no good shows here... ...oh well....i'll be back in london in no time
