Arctic monkeys

[Pearson]

Absolutely brilliant, download mardy bum if you have the chance, great song. There from sheffield n'all which is good.

[jesus'_bright_red_pants]

Not too fussed over them to be honest.
Though they'll probably grow on me.
Mad Wednesdayites too.

Me luuurves Artic Monkeys <3

[*Jess*]

I love this band.
They are just awesome.

[sam]

[~Wayne~]

They aint bad, but I aint a big fan of indie really

[Shane]

Never heard them, might have a listen later on if I am really bored. -__-

[NATAL!E]

Listen to em Shane.

They could easily be the new kids on the block and starting a revolution in the whole UK indie scene =O

Yaaay.

[Riccardo]

I listened to them ages ago but i reformatted my computer and didn't bother backing the album up.
I didn't really like them when i got the album but my musical tastes have changed since then

[random-lemons]

Love indie, but feel the Arctic Monkeys are over rated.

[Pearson]

there the best thing since sliced bread

[Sponge'K'nob]

I like them, a lot of people at my 6th form love them too

[-Snake-]

Arctic Monkeys do have alot of hype, but its there for a reason they make good music and there album is fantastic!

PS 1 is a blade and the other 3 and wednesday ites....

[NATAL!E]

I'm still in love with the Monkeys.

:D:D:D:D

[Pearson]

Listen to em Shane.

They could easily be the new kids on the block and starting a revolution in the whole UK indie scene =O

Yaaay.

Think that comments been proved right.

[Boy_Wonder06]

i dont really listen to there stuff but, i heard their new track today and i'll admit i liked it, its differnt so i suppose thumbs up!

[random-lemons]

Overrated!

[LukeEv_17]

[sam]

[Sponge'K'nob]

<33

[-Snake-]

[NATAL!E]

;D

One of the only things I've guessed right tbh, but nevermind =P

[Sponge'K'nob]

lol, go buy it u tight arse!
im not tight u bastard.
i am goin to buy it
all in good time

[Shane]

I listened to them today. Borrowed the album off a mate.

They are ok, not awful but its not the sort of thing I listen to.

[-Snake-]

They sold 360,000 copies of there album in the first week. Good to know sheffield can still produce massive bands...

[NATAL!E]

If you ask me, it did them A LOT of favours by doing it the way they did.

By releasing one or two really catchy songs, a while before their album was released, it get them into the public eye and noticed, so when their album came out, people wanted more, they wanted to hear what they could do.

A good way to get people to buy :D

[-Snake-]

Alot of there "live" demo's got on the net, I downloaded them and thought "oh my god" how good would that sound proper not some crappy recording so I got the album, and they got a massive fan base beacuse of all the live shows they do!

[Brianna.]

I saw a thing on the on MTV2 the other morning.

[-Snake-]

I saw a thing on the on MTV2 the other morning.


Wait! I'm dislexic and i know that isn't proper english! lol

[LukeEv_17]

so wats every1s fave song mines probably Mardy Bum

[Pearson]

problem with Arctic Monkeys is alot of people are jumping on bandwagon, personally in the area I grew up Indie has never really been the most popular thing, with stuff like rap and dance being the most popular!! but now Arctic Monkeys are top of the charts and all over the press, and just because there from sheffield many people around here have jumped on the bandwagon and bought there CD suddenly becoming fans of Indie. This actually really annoys me.

i know what you mean.
I dont usually mind so much about people who find a new type of music coz of friends and other influences from people close. But when they are just jumping on a bandwagon, it annoys me.

[jess]

I love the arctic monkeys, just got their album and it is very good

[Sponge'K'nob]

and just because there from sheffield many people around here have jumped on the bandwagon and bought there CD suddenly becoming fans of Indie. This actually really annoys me.
yeah i get what you mean, all the chavs near me are like really into TFI and all that shit and suddenly like arctic monkeys and no other indie band, just because of sheffield.
personally im an indie fan anyway but... i get what you mean

[Pearson]

Yer, I mean the other day some chavs at the back of the bus were playing mardy bum!!!!!! i was in completely shocked. Insted of there disgusting dance music that all sounds the same they were actually playing something I liked, and insted of being happy I just got annoyed.

[Sponge'K'nob]

haha yeah, i hate that, when everyone likes the same, there chavs, stick to chavy shit, or at least dont dress like a fuckin chav....the fuckers

[Brianna.]

Wait! I'm dislexic and i know that isn't proper english! lol


Whoops!

I ment "I saw a thing on them on MTV2 the other morning"*

Nice catch!

[jess]

Arrr i love the arctic monkeys, i saw the lead singer with what looked to be his girl friend in the leadmill on friday, he qued to get in n everything which was really cute, he was quite fit as well actually

[EssixOwl]

Lol Alex Turner's always in the bloody Leadmill. GO WRITE MORE SONGS YOU LAZY BAS*ARD! :p

Great band, these & Milburn will take 2006 by the scruff of the neck.

[NATAL!E]

[EssixOwl]

I think I am in love with the Monkeys.. =X

[NATAL!E]

What's your favourite song? I'm a believer? Pleasant Valley Sunday? Daydream believer? Teardrop City?

:P:p

[Mattimadhead]

I FUNKING LOVE THEM! WOOOOOOO AND IM WORKING ON GETTING A SIGNED C.D!!
(turns out my mates brothers (who is in uni) mate..is mates with the arctic monkeys)
i like from the ritz to the rubble!!!!!!!!
(last night these two bouncers n one of them alreet the onther ones a scary n)

but what other bands can fit phrases / words like " now the haze has accended it dont make no sence n e more"
or "totalatarian"
"get off the bandwagon and put down the hand book"
and the lyrics are genius!!!!!

[LukeEv_17]

yeah its a gud tune

[Ben]

i was forced to listen to them some time ago, before they got famous, and she was like yeh they used to play in the boardwalk but they're getting bigger. i thought nothing of it.

a while later...they're huge...the next big thing...wooo...

still not bothered

decided to download some tracks to see what the big deal is...

not bad, i like scummy (or is it called 'when the sun goes down'??) and mardy bum, but not so impressed with the rest.

[LukeEv_17]

I also like a certain romance and Riot van

[Adam18ImNotOkay]

they are good, but a bit too much over-rated.

[Mikhael]

i think nat just likes monkeys...

When the sun goes down is ma personal fav

[iaxa]

there pretty good... i like that dance floor song .

[Chris]

One or two of the guys that are in the Arctic Monkeys actually went to my old school (Stocksbridge High) dont know if they were there when i was there but i know that they went there (try saying that last bit 5 times, lol). And i still think they are blatantly 'meh', apparently they dont even speak as common as they do in the songs...

' And i still think they are blatantly 'meh', apparently they dont even speak as common as they do in the songs' What on earth does that mean?

And wow some o Arctic Monkeys went to your old school, honestly! living in sheffield you here a new 'im connected with arctic monkeys' story everyday. Everybody in fucking sheffield went to there school, was mates with them, went to a gig before they was famous and used to deliver papers to there house! Its unreal the amount of stuff like that you here everyday!

[Chris]

Alright, alright, calm down! LOL. I wasnt bragging or anything that they went to my school, i was just saying. I honestly couldnt give a flying fuck really, as i said before, i dont like them.

And when i said about the 'common speak' that they use in their songs i was talking about the way that they use broad yorkshire dialects in them, My AS english teacher says that she knew one of the guys parents and they were actually quite "well to do" (exact quote of what she said there) and didnt speak like that.

[Pearson]

Well Im glad they do speak in a proper sheffield accents. Makes them stand out, gives them something different and its good for our area. There always refered to as the lads from sheffield, which is good for sheffield. they wouldnt if they sounded normal. Its the only famous people I can remember that speak in the sheffield accent and im glad of it. Well done lads, keep representing.

[Hevz]

i like dancin shoes and riot van!
this aint exactally on subject bt as ne1 heard of milburn ???
they r also a band frm sheffield they r friends with the monkeys and play same type of music! they're nt as big as the monkeys yet they relased their first single rescently which made it 2 the top 20 it's called send in the boys. just wondered if ne1 had heard of them cos if u like the arctic monkeys i reacon u wud like milburn!

Yer Milburn are ok, I like Lads and Lasses. Good song

[Sponge'K'nob]

"You're not from New York City You're from ROTHERHAM!!!"
i like all their songs.
a certain romance is really good.
and riot van
and from the ritz to the rubble.
My friend was in the paper the last few weeks as she won a trip to chicago for the weekend to go see them! lucky biatch.

Don't Sheffielders speak normally? Lol.

[timswfc]

yeh everyone go and see the band MILBURN...they are like the arctic monkeys

[Pearson]

Don't Sheffielders speak normally? Lol.

they sound different to most other bands because of there sheffield accent.

[♥PrincessAlice♥]

i don't see what the whole fuss is about i don't like them one bit they get on my nerves yes they are very over-rated... most people in my school are sad enough to only like them because they are from sheffield

[Sammi]

Argh, they are so overrated it's actually laughable. I bought their album after being recommended it by my mate, she said 'oh my god, like, they're the best thing ever!' so I bought it. It all sounds the same. Bland and boring.

[Luke]

Just did a search of 'Milburn' on TF and this came up.

Nat sent me 'Chesire cat smile' by Milburn other day, fell in love with the song and downloaded loads of their stuff. What a band.

On the Arctic Monkeys subject, they only have one song I like. Fake tales of San Francisco.

[laceandleather]

I don't think they're anything special. I like scummy and I bet that you look good on the dancefloor...and thats about it. They are ridiculously overrated. Good lyrics yes, but NME is so far up their arse it's irritating.

X

[bumbledore]

One of my favorite songs is probably Dancing Shoes.
I love Arctic Monkeys :]

[GinSoakedBoy]

A lot of people like the Arctic Monkeys because they are popular but they are good. I was lucky enough to see them at the Octagon last year when they were on the NME awards tour, they dont say much but they play really well.

They are making their second album at the moment.


Milburn are very good, they are a bit less jokey than the Artic Monkeys. Little Man Tate are another good Sheffield band, they have a few demos out, Court Report and Man I Hate Your Band are both good songs.

Also, The Long Blondes have just released their album, theyve been around for 3 years just releasing singles, they are definately worth a listen. Once and Never Again and Weekend Without Makeup are both good.

[planty]

indie is the only way and love the arctic monkeys only decent fing to happen to sheffield since def leppard best top 3 for me tho would be kaiser chiefs, the killers and kasabian

[Leon]

Anyone heard the new song 'Brianstorm'?
I think it's great, can't wait for the new album 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' to come out.
Due for release on 23/04/2007:

Brianstorm
Teddy Picker
D Is For Dangerous
Balaclava
Fluorescent Adolescent
Only Ones Who Know
Do Me A Favour
This House Is a Circus
If You Were There, Beware
The Bad Thing
Old Yellow Bricks
505The only other one I've heard is 'D is for Dangerous', which is good too. :D

[Pearson]

Oh My God Iv Got Tickets To See Them At The Leadmill!!!!! Argh!!!! Never Been So Happy!!!

Arctic Monkeys Release New Material Under Different Name

http://www.gigwise.com/artists/00016970_arctic200.jpg

Arctic Monkeys appear to have released a new single under a different band name.
The limited edition 7” vinyl by a band called Death Ramps has appeared on Domino Records website – the same label which is also home to the Sheffield band. A picture of the record, which features the songs ‘The Death Camps’ and ‘Nettles,’ is accompanied by a message which hints at the real source of the material.

“Unfortunately, we're not allowed to tell you the true identity of the Death Ramps but needless to say they're a band with A Certain Romance (wink, wink),” the message explains.

Fans of the Arctic Monkeys will already know that ‘Nettles’ has appeared on the bands setlist at a number of live shows throughout 2007. The vinyl is limited to 250 copies and is being issued on a first-come-first-served basis via the Domino website, here (http://www.dominorecordco.com/site/index.php?page=news).
