"You had us all, standing on our heads, doing our best tricks." -Alex Turner
Arctic Monkeys are an English indie rock band formed in the early 2000's in a suburb of Sheffield. The band consists of Alex turner (lead vocals, lead/rhythm guitar), Jamie Cook (rhythm/lead guitar), Nick O'Malley (bass guitar), and Matt Helders (drums).
The band has released five studio albums: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006), Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007), Humbug (2009), Suck It And See (2011) and AM (2013), as well as one live album at the Apollo (2008).
They are definitely my favourite band at the moment. My older brother introduced me to them about four years ago and ever since then, I've clicked to them. Their altered setups and varied choice of guitars and drum petals give them an original, solid, indie rock sound. They have heavy lyrics and accented vocals making their songs ever more appealing.
If you ask me what my favourite song by them is then I probably wont give you a direct answer. There is not ONE song of theirs that I don't like. I can say that my favourite albums are Favourite Worst Nightmare which consists of "505", "Old Yellow Bricks" and I also like Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not which includes "Mardy Bum", "Fake Tales of San Francisco" and "Riot Van."
I picked todays quote because when I went to their concert in January, that's exactly what I was doing. I was dancing like a maniac and screaming like a psychopath. I'm pretty sure the people next to me wanted to punch me. Seeing my favourite band in concert was unbelievable and life changing, I promise I'm not exaggerating. I was one of the most surreal nights of my life.
