The Arctic Monkeys
Raw, young, honest and perceptive quartet from Sheffield, combining bemusement, catchy instrumental loops and a little endearing provocation. Genuinely witty lyrics put to music which is simultaneously brash, gentle, danceable and downright tuneful.
The Arctic Monkeys built up their fan base on the internet, after demo CDs they handed out at gigs in 2003 were put on the web for other people to hear. They were eventually signed by independent record label Domino Records. 'Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not' won the Mercury Music Prize as well as Brit, Q and NME Awards and is the fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history.
