Hi! I thought it would nice to talk about the Arctic Monkeys, personally they're one of my favourite band.

I love all of their songs, even their b-sides are great. And Alex Turner, the singer, has a unique and remarkable voice, and i'd even say he's the best songwriter i've seen. His lyrics are beautiful.

First of all, if you don't know the Arctic Monkeys, well here's what you need to know :

Arctic Monkeys are an English indie rock band from High Green, a suburb of Sheffield.

Alex Turner Lead Vocals/Guitar/Songwriter
Jamie Cook Guitar
Matt Helders Drums/Backing Vocals
Nick O'Malley Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals who replaced Andy Nicholson.

Arctic Monkeys achieved chart success with their first single, "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart.

Their debut album, released in January 2006, became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history, surpassing Oasis.

It remains the fastest-selling debut album for a band. It received critical acclaim, winning both the 2006 Mercury Prize and the 2007 BRIT Award for Best British Album. The band's second album, was released on 23 April 2007, sold over 225,000 copies in its debut week, and was nominated for the 2007 Mercury Prize. The band also picked up the award for Best British Album and Best British Band at the BRIT Awards in 2008.
