"Arctic Monkeys are a four-piece indie rock/post-punk revival band from High Green, a suburb of Sheffield, England. Their first two singles, 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' and "When The Sun Goes Down', both went straight to number one in the UK Singles Chart. Formed in 2002, the band currently consists of Alex Turner on lead vocals and guitar, Jamie Cook on rhythm guitar, Matt Helders on drums and backing vocals and Nick O'Malley on bass guitar, a position formerly held by Andy Nicholson.

Arctic Monkeys are generally considered part of the indie rock scene alongside similar contemporary guitar bands such as The Libertines, The Futureheads and Franz Ferdinand. The lyrics of Arctic Monkeys songs often feature social realism and observations of working class life, as typified by 'When The Sun Goes Down', described as a 'witty, poignant song about prostitution in the Neepsend district of Sheffield', and 'A Certain Romance', an attack on chav culture, which have led to comparisons with other acts, especially British rapper The Streets and older artists Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker, both of whom are known for their combination of observational lyrics and humour."
