‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ – A snapshot of a particular time and place, a witty and incisive portrait of the nightlife of the towns and cities up and down the country – and, more specifically, Sheffield.Their debut album suggests there is plenty more that is remarkable about Arctic Monkeys. Good news if you think rock music should be an iconoclastic, progressive force, rather than a branch of the light entertainment industry. Tracklist includes: “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor”The explosive breakout hit driven by breathless vocals, charging guitar riffs, and undeniable garage-rock momentum. “When the Sun Goes Down”: A gritty, observational single dealing with prostitution in Sheffield’s Neepsend district, shifting from a quiet melodic verse to a heavy, churning climax. “Mardy Bum”: A beloved fan favourite showcasing Alex Turner’s sharp, affectionate, and colloquial lyricism regarding domestic tension in a relationship. “The View From the Afternoon”: The blistering opening track that sets the frantic, youthful pace for the rest of the record. “A Certain Romance”: The epic, melancholic closing track that blends soaring guitar melodies with a nostalgic, observant critique of club culture and hometown youth. “Fake Tales of San Francisco”: A fast-paced satirical track targeting local bands pretending to have American lifestyles. “Dancing Shoes”: Sleek and punchy, focusing on the anxious, cyclical rituals of weekend clubbing and trying to pull. “You Probably Couldn’t See for the Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me”: A fast-paced, frantic snapshot of crowded club tension and misread signals. “Still Take You Home”: Anchored by a heavy, pulsing bassline and energetic delivery detailing post-midnight pursuits. “Riot Van”: A brief, acoustic-leaning, and wryly humorous interlude about a minor run-in with local police. “Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured”: A claustrophobic, brilliantly observed narrative about negotiating with a stubborn taxi driver outside a venue. “Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong But…”: An aggressive, shifting jam addressing the band’s rapid rise and scepticism toward outside hangers-on. . “From the Ritz to the Rubble”: A tense, jagged rush about trying to talk your way past a notoriously difficult club bouncer.

“Favourite Worst Nightmare” is the sound of band truly developing its own sound and identity. This was the first album to feature bassist Nick O’Malley, following the departure of Andy Nicholson.Tracklist: Brianstorm – A volcanic, high-octane opener driven by Matt Helders’ ferocious, pummelling drum rolls and Alex Turner’s sardonic opening jab (“Brian / Top marks for not tryin'”). It sets a breathless, aggressive tone for the record. Teddy Picker – A scathing, jagged critique of the music industry and fame, featuring heavy desert-rock guitar tones and a sticky, stomping rhythm. D Is for Dangerous – A tight, pugnacious track that highlights the band’s sharp council-estate edge and swift, interlocking bass and guitar work. Balaclava – A frantic, surf-rock-inflected sprint featuring clever, rapid-fire rhyme schemes and breathless pacing. Fluorescent Adolescent – One of the album’s defining masterpieces. It pairs a bouncy, nostalgic 1960s pop and R&B-influenced jangle with bittersweet, deeply tender lyrics about growing older and lost youth. Only Ones Who Know – A welcome, gentle palette cleanser. This quiet, acoustic-led ballad shows a more vulnerable, mature side to Turner’s songwriting and vocal delivery. Do Me a Favour – A devastating emotional centrepiece. It starts as a mid-tempo, Americana-tinged build before exploding into a chaotic, noise-drenched climax mirroring a deteriorating relationship. This House Is A Circus – A dark, claustrophobic track that leans heavily into post-punk revival textures, evoking a dizzying and paranoid atmosphere. If You Were There, Beware – A menacing, heavy-riffing composition that showcases the band’s expanded sonic boundaries and instrumental precision. The Bad Thing – A bouncy, swaggering tune that occasionally divides fans, functioning as a sleazy, fast-paced detour before the album’s emotional finale. Old Yellow Bricks – A fan-favourite anthem that blends a soaring, sing-along chorus with cynical, poetic imagery about leaving home and changing identities. 505 – The ultimate closing track. It slowly builds from a moody organ progression and clock-ticking rim shots into an overwhelming, passionate crescendo of heartbreak and longing

After a few performances in 2003, the band began to record demos at 2fly studios in Sheffield. 18 songs were demoed in all and the collection, now known as Beneath the Boardwalk, was burned onto CDs to give away at gigs, which were promptly file-shared amongst fans. The band began to grow in popularity across the north of England, receiving attention from BBC Radio and the British tabloid press. In May 2005, Arctic Monkeys released the EP Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys on their own ‘Bang Bang’ label. This release was limited to 500 CDs and 1,000 7″ records, but was also available to download from the iTunes Music Store. Soon after, the band played at the Carling Stage of the Reading and Leeds Festivals, reserved for less known or unsigned bands.

Recording sessions for a third album commenced in early 2008 and lasted throughout the year, with producers James Ford (who previously worked with Turner on the Last Shadow Puppets’ album) and Josh Homme (frontman of Queens of the Stone Age) adding some clout to the band’s sound before unveiling ‘Humbug’ in August 2009. ‘Suck It and See’ arrived in spring 2011, topping the U.K. album chart. It wasn’t until the summer of 2013 that the group’s fifth album was to be revealed.
