Monday saw Arctic Monkeys release their ‘Cornerstone’ single through Oxfam shops once again for charity after the success of the 7″ ‘Crying Lightning’ vinyl. The 10” format will be available exclusively through Oxfam shops with three extra tracks (and includes a download…

The red curtain parted and through the smoke lurked five figures; statuesque to soak the acclaim before they solemnly delved into ‘Dance Little Liar'. Few bands could get away with such a brutally understated start but then there are few bands like Arctic Monkeys and few gigs as anticipated as...

photo via Adrian PehrsonWhy are Arctic Monkeys so god damn good? Can’t they just release their singles like a normal band with average b-sides, or just attach some mediocre live performance?Nope, not the Arctics. They have to go release songs that actually compete with their album tracks for quality. Like the new b-side “Fright Lined [...]

Last night, Arctic Monkeys pulled one of my favorite moves: they didn’t play it safe. Yeah, they could have come out, played every hit, every danceable number, maybe appease the people who came for a few songs or just to say they went, but instead, they said to the crowd, “we are artists, and we know where we want to take you.” That is what separates the men from the boys. And since they are

Arctic Monkeys has always been a polarizing band among my friends. I don’t really know anyone who is just “okay” with the Arctic Monkeys. They’re either overrated simpletons or melodic geniuses. I’ve always veered closer to the latter side and this album does well to solidify my position.Unsurprisingly, Humbug displays a more mature, less danceable [...]Related posts:Arctic Monkeys – C

For the first few years of their mostly acclaimed career Arctic Monkeys had failed to really impress me – that is to say, live up to my lofty expectations incurred by their many adoring fans and critics. Admittedly, I understand the appeal of the group’s dark, sexy rock ‘n’ roll and found the occasional single to be enjoyably infectious and fun, but I felt the band failed to conjure m

Here it is, what we have all been waiting for. Such anticipation surrounded the making of this album it made a lot of people almost burst when they heard of its near arrival. The Sheffield boys decided to go off and work with one of their heroes, Mr Josh Homme. They recorded the majority of [...]

I've been dreaming about attending a gigantic festival ever since I started buying music magazines and reading reviews about them. True, it doesn't compare to seeing a band in an intimate venue, but it has a charm of its own. It's an experience, one which I never had before. Festivals in Greece are very small (2 stages tops), and I've only been at a small one in London and one with a well-behav...

1. Aw bleep it, I hate math. All I can say is that I do love it. The low addictive vocals, the lyrics, the atmosphere, that it's not immediately catchy and might take more than one listens (yes, I actually like that), the drumming, the sonic waves it washes over my ears, the fact that it shows that they're evolving in a good way, the the the...I've been waiting for it in agony and excitement.Wh...

*Betty and the Werewolves show* [http://www.myspace.com/bettyandthewerewolves]Met up with Lizzie and her fantastic, music-loving mother for the first time, had good Thai and proceeded to the King's Cross venue, which is a lovely one (you can't go wrong with a bar/venue which has a lamp that instead of normal lamp parts has female legs in heels and a skirt).I discovered that Lizzieness is fun, p...
