Artic Monkeys: Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

This album hailed a sudden rise from seemingly nowhere for the Artic Monkeys back in January 2006. It is highly original, very northern, immensely entertaining and frequently poignant. The ladish culture adeptly strewn across the entire record reminds me of my youthful activities of underage drinking and legging it from the local coppers. As for the musical style I’m still not sure which label to stick on it, is it Rock, Dance, Indie or Something else? Answers on a stamp addressed envelope to “Who the Fuck are the Artic Monkeys? PO BOX 1”.
