History

Formation and early years

In 2001, neighbours Alex Turner and Jamie Cook asked for instruments as Christmas presents and both received guitars. Alexander David Turner (born 6 January, 1986) is an English musician and member of Arctic Monkeys and The Last Shadow Puppets Jamie Cook (born Jamie Robert Cook, 8 July 1985) is the guitarist of Sheffield 's Arctic Monkeys. The guitar is a Musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles [6] After teaching themselves to play, the pair formed a band with Turner's schoolmates Andy Nicholson and Matt Helders. Andy Nicholson is an English musician best known for being the former Bass guitarist of the Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys. Matthew Helders (born 7 May 1986) is the drummer for the band Arctic Monkeys. [7] Nicholson already played bass, so Helders ended up on drums—"that was all that were left. The electric bass guitar (also called electric bass, or simply bass; ˈbeɪs as in "base" is a Stringed instrument played primarily with the A drum kit (also drum set or trap set) is a collection of Drums Cymbals and sometimes other Percussion instruments such as cowbells . . they all had guitars so I bought a drum kit after a bit. "[6] An article in Blender magazine in May 2006 suggested that Turner was not the original vocalist of the band—"When their first vocalist, Glyn Jones, left after a few months, Turner cautiously stepped up to the microphone. Blender is an American music Magazine that bills itself as "the ultimate guide to music and more" "[8] This was soon followed by a more detailed article in UK tabloid The Sun, who reported that in the very early days of the band—before they had played a gig—Glyn Jones, another attendee of Stocksbridge High School, used to be the band's singer. The Sun is a Tabloid daily newspaper published in the United Kingdom and Ireland with the highest circulation of any daily English-language Jones said that he and Turner "were bored [after our GCSE exams] so we started writing a song about a geek in our year. The General Certificate of Secondary Education ( GCSE) is the name of an academic qualification awarded in a specified subject generally taken in a number of subjects by . . ". Jones says that he was lead singer only because "Alex was really humble and didn’t realise how great his own voice was. . . he was happy just playing his guitar. " However, Jones says that he "did not have the dedication to take it any further. . . to me we were just a gang of kids messing around because we were bored. "[9] Although reports suggested they named themselves after Helders' uncle's (or even father's) band, Helders later admitted that these reports were false, claiming "we made that up ‘cause we got so many people asking us that in the UK, so we just started making stories up",[10] and that he just didn't have the heart to tell the original reporter he'd been lying.

Optical disc authoring, including DVD and Blu-ray Disc authoring (often referred to colloquially but improperly as burning) is the process of assembling With a limited number of CDs available, fans began to rip the music back onto their computers and share it amongst themselves. Ripping is the process of copying audio or video content to a Hard disk, typically from Removable media or media streams. The group did not mind, saying "we never made those demos to make money or anything. We were giving them away free anyway — that was a better way for people to hear them. And it made the gigs better, because people knew the words and came and sang along. "[10] They themselves took no responsibility for their music, admitting that they did not even know how to get their songs onto the Internet. The Internet is a global system of interconnected Computer networks [10] When asked about the popularity of the band's MySpace site in an interview with Prefix Magazine, the band pointed out that they did not even know what MySpace was, and that the site had originally been created by their fans. MySpace is a popular social networking Website offering an interactive user-submitted network of friends personal profiles blogs groups photos music and "[When we went number one in England] we were on the news and radio about how MySpace has helped us. But that's just the perfect example of someone who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. We actually had no idea what it was. "[10]

They began to grow in popularity across the north of England,[13] receiving attention from BBC Radio and the British tabloid press. BBC Radio is a service of the British Broadcasting Corporation which has operated in the United Kingdom under the terms of a Royal Charter since 1927 A tabloid is a Newspaper industry term which refers to a smaller newspaper format per spread to a weekly or semi-weekly alternative newspaper that focuses on local-interest Mark "The Sheriff" Bull, a local amateur photographer, filmed the band's performances and made the music video to "Fake Tales of San Francisco", releasing it on his web-site,[10] alongside the contents of Beneath the Boardwalk — a collection of the band's songs which he named after a local music venue.

The iTunes Store is a software-based online Digital media store operated by Apple Inc Soon after, the band played at the Carling Stage of the Reading and Leeds Festivals, reserved for less known or unsigned bands. Their appearance was hyped by much of the music press and the band was received by an unusually large crowd for the billing they played. The critically acclaimed[14] performance included spontaneous singalongs of tracks that were only available as demos on the Internet.

Record deals

The band resisted signing to a record label, refusing to change their songs to suit the industry — "Before the hysteria started, the labels would say, 'I like you, but I'm not sure about this bit, and that song could do with this changing. . . ' We never listened. "[12] Their cynicism with the industry was such that record company scouts were refused guaranteed guest list entry for their gigs, a move described by MTV Australia as "We've got this far without them — why should we let them in?". MTV Australia is the Australian version of MTV Music Television, a channel specialising in music and youth culture programming [15] The success of the strategy was illustrated with a series of sell-out gigs across the UK. October 2005 saw them sell out the historic London Astoria, and Turner saw this as proof that they were justified in ignoring the record companies, saying "Once it all kicked off, we didn't care anymore. The London Astoria is a music venue at 157 Charing Cross Road in London, England. In London, the kids were watching the band, and the record company were at the back watching the kids watching the band. "[12]

Eventually, they signed to Domino in June 2005. Domino Recording Company, generally known as Domino Records, is an Independent record label based in London. The band almost signed to an undisclosed "other label", but were attracted to the "DIY ethic" of Domino owner Laurence Bell, who ran the label from his flat and only signed bands that he liked personally. [16] The UK's Daily Star tabloid newspaper reported that this was followed in October 2005 by a £1m publishing deal with EMI and a £725,000 contract with Epic for the United States.

[18]

They finished recording their debut album at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire during September 2005. Lincolnshire (abbreviated Lincs) is a county in the east of England. Its name was confirmed as Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, a line taken from the 1960 film Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, in early December, with release originally intended for 30 January 2006.

Nicholson departure; Mercury Prize

Arctic Monkeys wasted no time in recording new material, and released a 5-track EP on 24 April 2006, entitled Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?, and was seen by critics as a swipe back at the snowballing hype surrounding the band.

Furthermore, the record's bad language has resulted in significantly less radio airplay than previous records, although this was not a reported concern — "since they made their name on the Internet — and that got them a No. 1 single and album — they don't care if they don't get radio play". [28]

However, soon after the release of the EP in the UK, the band announced that bassist Andy Nicholson would not take part in the band's forthcoming North America tour due to "fatigue following an intensive period of touring". Arctic Monkeys are a four-piece Indie rock band from Sheffield, England. [29] Upon their return to the UK, Nicholson confirmed that he would start his own project, and by that leave Arctic Monkeys. Other than the project, his reason for leaving was that he couldn't deal with the fame and the success that the band had acclaimed over the past six months. Alex Turner, Jamie Cook and Matt Helders were sad about the situation, and released some of a statement on their official website: "We are sad to tell everyone that Andy is no longer with the band", also confirmed that Nick O'Malley — former bassist with Arctic Monkeys' fellow Sheffield rock band, The Dodgems, who had drafted in as temporary bassist for the tour — would continue as bassist for the rest of their summer tour schedule.

[31] Although reaching #4 in the UK, the single became the band's first failure to reach #1 — leading to Turner referring to it as "the black sheep of the family" at the band's performance at the 2006 Reading Festival. The band were re-united at the Leeds Festival when Nicholson met up with his former band mates and his replacement bassist O'Malley;[32] however only the original band members, minus Nicholson, were present at the award ceremony when Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not won the 2006 Mercury Prize two weeks later.

Criticism and controversy

The band has received criticism, based largely around the media circus that has surrounded their rise. [38] Critics described them as one in a long line of largely overhyped "NME bands", while the release of the EP Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys just three months after their record-breaking debut album has been criticised by some, who have seen it as "money-grabbing" and "cashing in on their success".

Social Realism, also known as Socio-Realism, is an Artistic movement, expressed in the visual and other realist arts, which depicts Working class Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not is the debut album by Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys, released on 23 January 2006 Chav (ʧæv or Charv/Charva (ʧɑːv Working class is a term used in academic Sociology and in ordinary conversation to describe depending on context and speaker those employed in specific fields or types Prostitution is the act of performing Sexual activity in exchange for Money.

In Music, the introduction is a passage or section which opens a movement or a separate piece. [53] However, their shows have sometimes been criticised by reviewers. For example, NME compared their performance at the 2006 Reading Festival unfavourably to that of Muse, who followed immediately after, using a multitude of fireworks and lighting effects, claiming that "in contrast to Muse's all-flashing, all-smoke-spewing, all-fire-raining slot, Arctic Monkeys simply stroll on without even the common courtesy of shoving up a backdrop", adding that band were too "self-conscious" and failed to be "the rock stars they've actually earned the right to be".

In politics

The popularity of the Arctic Monkeys in the UK, especially among young people, has led to politicians and journalists referring to the band in speeches and texts. In May 2006, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown stated in an interview with New Woman magazine that he listened to them every day, claiming "[they] really wake you up in the morning",[56] although in a later interview he was unable to name any of their songs. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is the title held by the British Cabinet minister who is responsible for all Economic and Financial WikipediaManual of Style (biographies#Academic titles --> James Gordon Brown (born 20 February 1951 is [57] This has later been reported as a misquote. Subsequent interviews Brown has clarified that he said he didn't actually like them. He says he simply stated they would certainly wake you up in the morning. [58] He went on to reference this in his speech at the 2006 Labour Party Conference about the risk of global warming, joking that he was "more interested in the future of the Arctic Circle than the future of the Arctic Monkeys". The Labour Party Conference, or annual national conference of the Labour Party, is formally the supreme decision-making body of the Party Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the The Arctic Circle is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth.

They stated that it would be "patronising" given their age and that people should pay more attention to experts than to musicians about climate change. They also stated that it would leave them open to accusations of hypocrisy owing to the amount of energy they used in concerts.
