The Profile

Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band formed in Sheffield (2002). They rose to prominence with their 2006 debut Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not and have released several stylistically varied albums including Favourite Worst Nightmare, Humbug, Suck It and See, AM, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino and The Car.

Formed in Sheffield; debut album (Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not) was one of the fastest-selling debut albums in UK chart history. Core public members include Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Matt Helders and Nick O'Malley (publicly verifiable band lineup and history).

DeBaser's reviews trace Arctic Monkeys' evolution from brash Sheffield garage rock to late-career lounge and orchestral pop.

Overall, coverage is detailed and varied.

Notable Quotes

❝ We’re Arctic Monkeys. This is I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor. Don’t believe the hype.
❝ it will never be like 'R U Mine' again
❝ I simply think that the variations in sound and aesthetics experienced by the band from Sheffield along their discography can be explained by analyzing just one aspect, which is the evolution of Turner’s lust.
