The species of monkey, that originates from the Arctic (and Sheffield). They rock the british-new-music-scene’s socks off

Sheffield (England) band, featuring Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Andy Nicholson and Matt Helders. Universally loved for their conversational, colloquialism-heavy lyrics (bordering on the pretentious); solid rock sound and accented vocals. The band was formed around 2002, and released two UK No. 1's in 2005. Their album, 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not', was released on 23 January, 2006, and criticised by some for displaying a man smoking on the cover (to which I say: as if kids want to look like that guy!)
Me: Hey, have you heard that new Arctic Monkeys song?
Friend: Yeah, I love Arctic Monkeys! Are you going to their Sydney gig?

One fantastic band- true they're not the next Beatles ...
But if you listen to the lyrics: everyone who's gone out boozing, tried to chat up someone up and got shot down, tried to get past club bouncers, been surrounded by fakes and posers, been in shit relationships or whatever- you can relate to them and laugh at the way Alex Turner presents it!
Unfortunately, Arctic Monkeys is the victims of its own hype! Hype kills bands as critics and music snobs alike make themselves seem so above everyone else by slating such bands and saying they haven't lived up to their snobbish and superior expectations (because thy ALWAYS know best!).
The truth of the matter is, AM is a great original, down to earth, non-manufactured band with an extreamly talented lead singer and writer!
So I'm glad that people are sitting up and taking notice to them instead of some X Factor/Simon Cowell reject!
Oh and they are amazing live!!!

Some good Arctic Monkeys Lyrics.
"Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook"
"Last night these two bouncers
And one of em's alright
The other one's the scary one
His way or no way, totalatarian"
"Don't believe the hype" Arctic Monkey's motto!
"Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook"
"Last night these two bouncers
And one of em's alright
The other one's the scary one
His way or no way, totalatarian"

Arctic Monkeys are a four-piece indie rock band from Sheffield, England, whose debut single, "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor", went straight to number one.
In fact "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" is one of their cruddier songs compared to the likes of 'Scummy', 'Mardy Bum' and 'Fake Tales of San Fracisco'.
They are known for their modern -
" Last night these two bouncers
And one of em's alright
The other one's the scary one
His way or no way, totalatarian "
and witty lyrics
"And all the weekend rockstars in the toilets
Practicing their lines "
