Zoé (Mexican Band) Vs. The Kooks / Poli Vs OOh La.

H

ello, I hope you are great and spending a Saturday full of joy and happiness, good in Mexico, people who work and go to school have a vacation, so good to enjoy life.

In recent days I have watched my favorite series called The OC which is a good enough popular youth drama in 2000, leaving aside that in one of the episodes I found a song by The Kooks called Ooh La, it's a pretty good song, as soon as I heard, immediately download and look at my playlist spotify, when watching the video of the song cannot help but compare it with another great song from a Mexican band called Zoé this group is well known in Latin America and much of the speaking countries and even manages a sound and songwriting, the songs have similarities that makes them so same with the song called Poli.

Zoé

Mexican Band Zoe

It is a Mexican alternative rock band formed in 1995 in Cuernavaca and official in Mexico City in 1997. It is led by León Larregui (voice) and also conformed by Sergio Acosta (guitar), Jesús Báez (keyboards), Ángel Mosqueda (Bass) and Rodrigo Guardiola (drums).

Zoe in 2011.

Zoé has been characterized by influences from psychedelic rock and electronic music, including The Beatles, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Radiohead, Saul Hernández and Gustavo Cerati. His songs have featured on the rock in Spanish and themes often deal with issues of space and the universe. Many of his songs are written with philosophical dyes characterized by issues about space and the universe with the style of the creator of most of his lyrics, vocalist León Larregui.

The Kooks

The Kooks in 2012

is a band of British indie-rock band formed in Brighton, East Sussex, in 2004.1 The band consists of Luke Pritchard (vocals / guitar), Hugh Harris (guitar / keyboards), Alexis Nuñez (drums) and Peter Denton (electric bass) .

The Kooks in 2010

They described themselves as a band of "pop" whose music is influenced mainly by a movement known as the British Invasion of the 1960s and the post-punk revival of the new millennium. They have songs that are described as "hook easily , " The Kooks also has experimented with various genres including rock, Britpop, pop, reggae and ska. More recently, they have experimented with styles like funk and hip-hop.

Poli by Zoé

The lyrics speak of a man (the vocalist) who talks about a girl that he wants but who knows he will never be for him. If we look, in all the letter, he describes it with affection as he remembers making it clear that that girl will not correspond.

Video's Poli by zoe

Now, did you know that really happened to the vocalist? !! a girl named Paula and which made a song with the same name and is included in its previous album "Memo Rex ..." But talking about it again but now slightly modifying the name and putting the song "Poli" (because there was already a song called Paula). The curious thing about this is that the girl in the video is the ex-sister-that is, Paula's sister (her crush)

That's right , "... That's the story of an old song, the first time ..."

Ooh La by The Kooks

It took me a long time to write a song about this British quartet was one of the sensations of the year in England in 2006. The Kooks are in Brighton, a city that is considered the cradle of electronic music in England. The Kooks broke strongly with his first work, Inside In / Inside Out, considered by both the public and critics one of the best debuts of a band in years and has a few songs that are worth listening to . 

The Kooks Ooh la 

It was Ooh since the album fell into my hands, I love the fast pace that takes the song from the first guitar strumming. I'll leave a video, the officer and another like another day in the world, Vetusta Morla video shot on the way from home to a Madrid Fnac. I love how they play their guitars and singing between cars, and I like the live voice more than the studio.

Ooh La La song was dedicated to the model Audrey Lindvall who once was on his bicycle collided with a car, it also inspired the video.

Different song same video:

At some point both videos look the same, the same shots, the bands seem to have tried the same poses, the models chosen are different but something that caught the attention is that the lyrics are similar in both songs, I cannot assure that it is plagiarism but we both songs are really well done with great style and with a singular stamp of each band Zoé meanwhile shows a more romantic rose song, adorable song Poli compared to the Kooks showing a letter more raw and bitter what is true love and we can even see that in Ooh La talk about suicide and death, but the sound that creates the Kooks is more than great that all we can do is appreciate and listen so beautiful song , In general both songs speak of love and are dedicated to a girl that is in love, this leads to a universal feeling, although the inspiration for both bands was a woman behind The letter is the message of love, that love that is impossible, that can never be carried out but at the end of the day is the purest.

As today I am good I declare that you loved songs are good and that does not necessarily have to be the copy of each other but good love is a unique and individual feeling that helps rock bands to create songs full of sound, Both are great and well here my post comes. If you like what I write or  give me  a google 1+. That would help me keep writing and comparing Latin bands against English music bands. I wish you the best you have a nice night pass it great and we read soon, a hug and thanks for reading, of course if anyone reads this.
