Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band formed in Sheffield in 2002. The band consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, guitar), Jamie Cook (guitar), Nick O'Malley (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Matt Helders (drums, backing vocals). Originally featuring bassist Andy Nicholson, he departed in 2006 shortly after their debut album. Known for their distinct blend of post-punk revival and indie rock, Arctic Monkeys gained early prominence through a grassroots internet buzz, largely fueled by fans sharing their music online.

It included hits like "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor." Subsequent albums, such as "Favourite Worst Nightmare" (2007) and "AM" (2013), solidified their global success with singles like "Do I Wanna Know?" showcasing a matured sound with elements of psychedelic rock and hip hop. Known for their dynamic performances and lyrical storytelling, Arctic Monkeys continue to be a significant force in modern rock music, consistently evolving their sound while maintaining their signature wit and edge.
