In August 2022, two weeks into their European tour, Arctic Monkeys announced their highly anticipated seventh studio album, The Car, to be released on October 21st, 2022.Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield. Their most accessible album to date is AM, which contains some of their catchiest and most notable singles, including the indie hit “Do I Wanna Know?.”Īrctic Monkeys subsequently took a five-year break from releasing albums, before returning with their polarising sixth studio album Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino in 2018. They followed it up with Favourite Worst Nightmare in 2007, which took on a more mature lyrical direction, with tighter, more accessible hooks and melodies and more polished production. 1 singles, “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” and “When the Sun Goes Down”. The group released their scrappy, spirited debut Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not in 2006, an album that spawned their first UK No. However, they eventually signed with Domino because of the “do it yourself” attitude of founder, Lawrence Bell, who ran the label from his own house. Initially, they refused to sign a record contract with any label through fear that they would want the band to change their songs, going as far as to refuse scouts guaranteed entry into their gigs. The Arctic Monkeys became one of the first bands to find fame and recognition purely through internet publicity and social media the Arctics used to sell their demos CDs at a bar where Alex Turner used to work, but due to the limited number of CDs, their fans started to upload them on the internet. Their sound has changed extensively from album to album, gradually evolving from raw, youthful post-punk revival music to R ‘n’ B and jazz-inspired experiments.Īll four original members of the band were devoted fans of hip-hop when they were younger, a genre that would have an immense influence on their later work, but it was the sound of The Strokes and The Libertines that would help shape their early style. Former band member Andy Nicholson (bass guitar, backing vocals) left the band in 2006 shortly after their debut album was released. The band consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, rhythm/lead guitar), Matt Helders (drums, vocals), Jamie Cook (lead/rhythm guitar) and Nick O'Malley (bass, backing vocals).
