I have a new favourite band. I went to the Astoria last night and saw the best gig I have seen in a long long time.
A friggin awesome band called Arctiic Monkeys were playing and absolutley brought the house down. They had been upgraded from the Mean Fiddler due to popular demand and they sold out the Astoria.
I am listening to some download stuff right now. They will be massive.

I like the new single and video but think some of their other demo stuff is a bit weak. I still need to see them live, that'll be the clincher for me. I'm sure the album'll be a whopper!

Arctic Monkeys remind me a bit of The Rakes.
My current favourites are The Kooks, that 'Sofa Song' won't be leaving my head in a hurry.

Yeah, I'd agree with you an that, but on the strength of what I saw last night they have an albums worth of great stuff and are superb live.
Somone said they have gone to Domino Records, which I reckon wiill be a good move.

Hey is Arctic Monkeys a bunch of white guys? If so, I find the name offensive, just like that popular Japanese band called Yellow Monkey. I was like, "How do you guys call yourself "Yellow Monkey" when you're from Japan...I mean it's just wrong...

they're gettin a lot of airplay and exposure right now.

A) I don't like the band logo
B) Never, ever show your bass player as the prominent member in band photos. It's just like a rule of rock and roll. Unless he is the singer as well...
C) downloading vide to make judgement on rest...stay tuned..

after watching the video on the site:
They're ok in my book. I don't think I'd buy the cd, but I wouldn't turn it off if it came on the radio.
Of course, as a caucasian I am upset by the "arctic monkey" inference and if the next time they play in my area I will protest outside.
