Arctic Monkeys

[Mr-Pope]

You may have heard of this new band from Sheffield, i personally think they are amazing. The real fucking deal. Fresh, new rock n roll.

They have just entered the charts an number one, their debut single. This is mainly due to their massive internet following. They get their music out to their fans by letting them download it for free. Don't beleive me? Check out their forum :

Here's a link to a few songs :

Take a look, it's all legal.

You'll probably all hate them though.

[Kaabi]

I love them becuase of their name.

[ZeroAsALimit]

I don't like Rock.

I do have their 'I Bet Yoyu Look Good On The Dancefloor' single though. ^_^

[Outlaw646]

Well it's not really full blown rock, they have a lot of hip hop influneces in there.

[Obliquo]

I love em, they've been talked about on Radio 1 for ages now.

Betcha look good on the dancefloor is a great single

Yep radio 1 hyped them up big time, and were a hell of an influence in making them so popular.

[BananaBreadMuffin]

They've been on the top of Xfm requst list for the last bagillion days.

sexy

Yeah, I hate them with a passion. They're one of those over hyped, over played shitty gonzo "indie" bands. The only band worse than them at the moment is the Test Icicles.

lol, who?

*bows*

oh thank you, thank you! God bless you... *gets too choked up to continue*

[Mr-Pope]

They're set to have the fastest selling debut album of all time, over 100,000 in it's first day. Whatever you think of them that's a shit load of records.

And they say illegal downloading is ruining the music industry.

Oh well, they're too popular now, i'll have to stop listening to them.

[childinthemist]

They are the answers to The Libertines shaped hole in my heart :D

I think they're that to a lot of people, although that hole wouldn't even be there if Doherty didn't go off the rails.

[TypeAliasHere]

i got the album on monday and its one of the best albums ever all the osngs are fucking great, get the album.

[Masteronin]

Oh...
I thought this topic was about monkies that actually lived in the Arctic or something....

(

[BananaBreadMuffin]

I got their new album too, its awesome. Best song (apart from the two singles) is A Certain Romance

[CloudConnected]

Haha, for a moment I thought you were going to post a news link, that included scientists finding "Arctic Monkeys".

[Final-sephiroth]

yeah they fuckin ROCK!

[Mr-Pope]

Yeah, i got the album about a month ago and have been listening to it non-stop. Every tracks quality, i don't find myself skipping any song on it unlike on most albums.

[MetalArm]

Their album is superb, truly refreshing,

[Vegeton]

Seems interesting, maybe I'll check them out. Their name was enough to get me, but I was thinking this was going to be about some species of monkey that lives in artic climates, sadly I'm still quite disapointed.

[Chozz]

You are totaly right, kick ass band, especially that "You look good on the dance floor" song.

I wouldn't go as far as calling them rock n' roll

[TheAbominableMatt]

They were playing in my town last night. a few of my mates were going to see them play but I didn't even know they were going to be here so I hadn't bought a ticket.

They would have been worth going to se but I do agree that they've been overhyped- I mean they're good, they're not the second coming.

Neither would i, i made this topic a few month ago when i was even more musically retarded.

They're a pop band essentially i suppose.

[Slightly-Crazy-Dude]

Yeah, i got their album today, along with the Editors album, bot should be getting played at random times during the day at full blast :D

[nick-theprizefighter]

They are great. I also like Bloc Party.

[MaidenHead]

I fucking hate the Arctic Monkeys, they annoy me no end.

[Discharges]

I thought it was unfair how NME hyped them up as the 'New Rolling Stones', a lot of pressure for a new band, but NME is a shit rag anyway.
