Arctic Monkeys
Many of us can link a certain album to pivotal moments in our lives. Whether it’s the first record you bought with your own money, the chord you first learnt to play on guitar, the song that soundtracked your first kiss, the album that got you those awkward and painful pubescent years or the one […]
In a new episode of Matt Wilkinson’s ‘5 Best Songs on Apple Music’ program, Tame Impala‘s Kevin Parker shouted out Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, saying he considers the musician “in another league” to him as a songwriter. Parker quickly qualified the claim by adding that despite Turner’s songwriting chops, “he he can’t play drums as […]

“Don’t fuck it up.” That’s, apparently, the advice Dave Grohl gave to The Chats before they went onstage at The Regent in LA back in July. As you may recall, Grohl, along with Josh Homme, Alex Turner and Matt Helders of Arctic Monkeys all turned up to the show. Now, speaking to NME while in […]
In 2018 the Arctic Monkeys released Tranquillity Base Hotel + Casino. Gone was the rock ‘n’ roll swagger of AM and in its place a band’s ambition for something more. The album moved in every direction but none. It was the past, present and future all at the same time. Pet Sounds delivered with lounge […]
Liam Stapleton, whom you probably know as one half of triple J breakfast duo Ben & Liam, has successfully pulled off an elaborate scheme to meet the Arctic Monkeys (and not seem like a total fanboy in the process). The Brit-rockers — who are currently touring Australia — trotted into JJJ HQ for a chat […]
Alex Turner offered a rare bit of banter to introduce the final song of the Arctic Monkeys’ main set. “This one’s from 2005,” said the frontman. “It’s called ‘I Bet That You Look Good On the Dancefloor’.” It was one of just two songs lifted from the band’s breakthrough LP and predictably triggered a surge […]
Not many would’ve tipped a pimply indie rock band from South Yorkshire, signed to an independent label, to release the fastest selling debut album in British chart history. But that’s what Arctic Monkeys achieved with their 2005 LP, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. Arctic Monkeys not only remain enormously popular 14 […]
Fuck Viagogo, Arctic Monkeys are making sure fans don’t miss out on tickets to their forthcoming Australian tour by unleashing a bunch more GA’s to all of their upcoming shows, including the ones that were previously SOLD OUT. ICYMI: the Brit-rock royals will be heading back to Australia for a long overdue tour throughout February and March, […]
Get ready for even more monkey business because Arctic Monkeys have just added two more stops to their already mammoth 2019 Australian arena tour. The British rockers have added second and final Sydney and Melbourne dates to next year’s Aussie itinerary after the first two SOLD OUT this afternoon, and the new tickets are on sale […]
