Arctic Monkeys

I didn’t want to write about this topic because for me it’s very difficult to decide which is my favorite band. Whatever ... My favorite band is "Arctic Monkeys."

The band it consists of Alex Turner (vocals, guitar), Jamie Cook (rhythm guitar), Matt Helders (drums and vocals) and Nick O'Malley (bass), this latter joined the band in June 2006 following the abandonment of Andy Nicholson. They are british, specifically from the city of Sheffield, at north of London. Their music style is indie rock. Their first two singles "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" and "When The Sun Goes Down", went straight to number 1 on the list of UK singles. Their albúm debut, “Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not”, holds the record as the biggest selling debut album in his first weeks in the UK, beating to “Definitely Maybe”, the debut album of the legendary Oasis. The band won the "Best New Act" in the "Brit Awards" 2006, and maked history in NME Awards 2006 by becoming the first band to win the award for "Best New Band and Best Band British "in the same year.

I love this band because their sound is varied and novel. Their music is unlike anything I've ever heard before, is very special: sometimes distorted, sometimes melodic. I really like the sounds of guitar and drums.

As I don´t know english, I don’t understand the 100% of lyrics of their songs. What make me crazy is overcoat the sound. Anyway, my favorite song of “Arctic Monkeys” is "Mardy Bum". This song is about a boy who remembers the good times with a ex-girlfriend who has now become a bitter.

"Remember cuddles in the kitchen

yeah, to get things off the ground and it was up, up and away

oh, but its right hard to remember that

on a day like today when you’re all argumentative

and you’ve got the face on"
