Arctic Monkeys
Sheffield band led by Alex Turner, moving from wiry, fast-talking guitar rock about nights out to the crooned lounge-pop of Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

About Arctic Monkeys
Arctic Monkeys formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb on the northern edge of Sheffield, with Alex Turner on vocals and guitar, Jamie Cook on guitar and Matt Helders on drums. Nick O'Malley later replaced original bassist Andy Nicholson. Fans passed the band's early demos around online, and the 2006 debut Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not became the fastest-selling debut album in British chart history at the time and won the Mercury Prize.
Turner's lyrics catalogue taxi ranks, bouncers and small-town romance in a dense Yorkshire drawl. Humbug, made partly with Josh Homme in the California desert, brought in heavier, murkier riffs. AM in 2013, with 'Do I Wanna Know?' and 'R U Mine?', set slow, hip-hop-influenced grooves under falsetto backing vocals. The Car in 2022 extended the orchestral, cinematic direction of its predecessor.
