Arctic Monyes

Movin much too fast

What's up guys, so we all here obviously are great PJ fans. That's for sure! And I can bet that all of you consider yourselfs the #1 fan.
But, we all obviously listen to diffrent stuff from time to time. I love ohter grunge bands form the 90s (except Nirvana, I just can't listen to them anymore, maybe when i was like 14, but not no longer!) , My Morning Jacket is another great band, anyway I'll go straight to my point or I'll start drifting...

Arctic Monkeys, a british band. They're really good, I'm really starting to know them, I've been listening them for about a month. It's an indie rock type of band, I think formed on 2002.

Anyway, you can check them out here

Good band, not quite as good as the hype around them, but they are still good. Their album last year was one of the better straight up rock debuts I've heard in a while. They have another album coming out this year.

My Morning Jacket is quite good as well!

Curious

They are much like about two dozen other 'brit bands' that have all cropped up lately. None are anything special, I mean they all have a couple of semi-decent songs, but that's about it.

Of course the complete and total over-exposure they get here doesn't help in the least. There's only so many times you can hear a decent song on the radio before you begin cursing it's very existence.

well put

catefrances

already checked them out.i like them. they're fun, inoffensive and catchy as hell. clever writing too.
but contrary to what alex turner says, i do not look good on the dancefloor.

oh and all the people who go on about hype surrounding a band should stop listening to the media. haven't you learned anything?

lol liek artic monkleys are soooo rad and post-brit punk. wow are theiy somthing!






Not. Fake Tales of San Francisco is their only good song, and even that isn't super-impressive.

Already checked them out, already saw them live last March, already sold.

Great Band, best 1-8 punch on an album since Avacado*. "View from the afternoon" rocks harder than the Foo Fighter circa 'Colour and the Shape'. "Fake Tales from San Francisco" grooves like the Chili Peppers used to, and "riot Van" sounds like.....um....well,............. that song sounds like crap.


*Edit: Now that I think about it it probably came out before Avacado.

their new one, Briansong, is pretty good.
I dig the Arctic Monkeys. They're pretty efficient in getting out their new album, just a year after their first one, and seem pretty unpretentious in the way they go about things for a bunch of people around my age.

Rhinocerous Surprise

I've already posted on this board about my distaste for The Arctic Monkeys. I think they just appealed to a British public desperate for something to replace the Libertines (who were only marginally better).

But then, I don't like much of these Brit-indie bands anyways. Or Arcade Fire, for that matter. I should stop talking now...

I also dig Mardy Bum off their first album. Probably my favorite.
