Arctic Monkeys

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

By distilling the sounds of Franz Ferdinand, the Clash, the Strokes, and the Libertines into a hybrid of swaggering indie rock and danceable neo-punk, Arctic Monkeys became one of the U.K.'s biggest bands of the new millennium. Their meteoric rise began in 2005, when the teenaged bandmates fielded offers from major labels and drew a sold-out crowd to the London Astoria, using little more than a self-released EP as bait. Several months later, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not became the fastest-selling debut album in British history, entrench...[more]

 

 

At the Apollo is a standard new millennium live album: it's a multimedia experience containing a DVD and a CD, but unlike so many of these sets, this doesn't replicate the show on video and audio. Instead, the DVD has the titular At the Apollo -- the Manchester Apollo, not the one in Harlem -- and the CD contains a live set recorded that same tour in Austin, TX. Whether this is an attractive package to you depends entirely on your level of devotion to Arctic Monkeys: both are good energetic sets bu   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. This pre-album single serves to prepare you for the full-length onslaught that is the rocking brilliance of Favourite Worst Nightmare. Like some cruel bait-and-switch, this record opens with a lovely string quartet before a rude intrusion of frantic drums and squealing guitars send them packing (apparently inspired by The Jesus Lizard no less). The second track, "Brianstorm" barrels out of the gate with an itchy energy. "Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend" is a taut, suspens   [ read more ]

Comes with a CD of a Spring 2006 concert performed in Texas! With the Arctic Monkey's third studio album expected later this year - the first two hit #1 UK - the band keeps fans howling for more with the concert DVD At The Apollo, the Apollo Theater in Manchester, England, that is. Filmed December 17, 2007, at the sold-out final performance of their world tour, the 76-minute At The Apollo shows why the Grammy-nomiated Arctic Monkeys, with their indie pop sound and neo-punk attitude,   [ read more ]

Breathless praise is a time-honored tradition in British pop music, but even so, the whole brouhaha surrounding the 2006 debut of the Arctic Monkeys bordered on the absurd. It wasn't enough for the Arctic Monkeys to be the best new band of 2006; they had to be the saviors of rock & roll. Lead singer/songwriter Alex Turner had to be the best songwriter since Noel Gallagher or perhaps even Paul Weller, and their debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, at first was hailed    [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. While this sophomore release is unmistakably Arctic Monkeys, everything's a little more muscular and aggressive. Each song is embedded with revelatory moments, as if some sort of critical mass is achieved through skillful song craft and sharp arrangements until an explosive release of energy or emotion is inevitable. Arctic Monkeys have exceeded expectations with this record.
