Arctic Monkeys

The story of this UK band sounds a lot like a fairy tale: they came out of nowhere, they got discovered thanks to their fans on the Internet, and their first album Whatever They Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not went on to become one of the biggest selling record of 2006. Alex Turner and Jamie Cook share the guitar duties and do so with a typically British urgency, with a nervous and razor-sharp sound bordering on punk, and still sound fresh and inspired album after album.
