“My friends are all dicking around outside,

Impressed by the press and the rest”

The Arctic Monkeys are a extremely successful English post-punk indie rock band from Sheffield, England. Formed in 2002 they have five albums in their catalogue. Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006) was the fastest selling debut album in U.K. history and all five albums went to number one in the U.K. and top ten worldwide. In the States they only managed top 20 but their last album A.M. (2013) was the most successful making it to number 6. The first two singles from The Arctic Monkey's first album went to number one but the third Fake Tales From San Francisco (2006) never charted. It's the Arctic Monkey's best song, a song Clash Music describe as an “untamed, organic and ferocious beauty.”

So get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook”
