The Arctic Monkeys are a band that got together in 2002 surprisingly because "they were bored", which is a weird reason for a band to get together. They originated in Sheffield, England but their music is playing all across the US, Canada and other places around the world. The band consists of four band members which are Alex Turner, who is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Jamie Cook, who is the lead guitarist. There is also Nick O'Malley, who is the bassist and the back-up vocalist, and finally the drummer and also the back-up vocalist, Matt Helders. The first song which reached the number 1 charts (UK) was their second single "I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor". Their first album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" was released in January 2006 and became the fastest selling debut album in British history. So far, the Arctic Monkeys have 3 albums up to date, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not", "Favourite Worst Nightmare", and "Humbug". My personal favourite album is "Favourite Worst Nightmare" because it's really fast and really loud. My favourite song from that album is "Brainstorm" because it's also very fast and i can play it on my real drums.
