They are a semi-manufactured band with some old nineties indie guy helping them write the songs. And they are a bit older than they say. They suck, whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've heard that rumour, too |
||||||||
|

I like them. Good indie rock band, nice melodies. |
||||||||
|

I'm just glad Murray is around again. |
||||||||
|
|

I hope it's true. I think a lot of people will realise how full of shit the NME is, and start listening to some fresh, original music. |
||||||||

they look like they are 15 |

Recycle, you are a tonic. |

why do we need a thread about artic monkeys? swears pull yourself together man. xltronic = excellent electronic music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The indie scene has a shitload of amazing bands that are so much better than Arctic Monkeys and don't get half the recognistion. Including: - The Good Shoes - Kaito - Good Books - The Klaxons - The Envelopes - Semi Finalists - Tom Vek |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we have xltronic, lets have another forum where we can talk about how shit other music is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i think Joe Wilson (sneaker pimps) has been helping produce the arctic monkeys' stuff, although i'm not 100% on that. |
||||||||
|

|
|
the typeface on their logo has tails like a monkey, but they never elaborate on the "arctic" bit. they could wear wooly eskimo clothes when they play or something like that, but they dont. bastards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my thoughts exactly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nme are shit. why do you even care to mention them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They're talented guys. Its so original to hate bands because the NME champion them. Interpol, NME darlings, one of the best bands of the new century, IMO. There's good stuff in all genres, there's nothing worse than a snob who thinks that all music outside their narrow taste is inferior. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interpol are ace. arctic monkeys are dancable on a night out at a shit indie club. nothing more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Arctic monkeys are okay. By that I mean "average" as opposed to good. What I do dislike about them is every trendy sap in Christendom sychophantically echoes NME et all's praise for them and for some unfathomable reason a very average band have been (wrongly) hailed as "the next big thing". Indeksical sums them up perfectly, "arctic monkeys are dancable on a night out at a shit indie club. nothing more. " Here's a newsflash for you media-led puppets; They will not be as big as The Beetles, or Oasis, or for that matter even the Spice girls. They will not be around (or if they are, they will be charting far lower/less frequently than they are now) in 5, or even 3 years time. Incidentally, I really hope the rumour is true. |

I really like Artic Monkeys. I think that you can compare them to a lot of bands before them, but it is easy to see why they are so big. If you grew up or are growing up in a shitty northern town, I think it is very easy to identify with them. The album reminds me of my youth and attetude at that time and I think if I had had any talent when I was 19ish, I belive I would have spoken with a voice simalar to them. But at that time in my life it would have been Very Metal indeed \m/ |

they will just be some shit you hear on the radio now an then. i doubt they will amount to much more (because they suck) |
||||||||

I don't know how much hype NME have given them, but in my experience NME hype buries some bands. My mates band Marion were NME lovies for a while but failed misarably. And Jamie became a Smack head and tried to commit an armed robbery in Macclesfield, where he was probably the most famous person in the town (Apart from Noddy Holder) |
||||||||

They were very talented, musically. Isn't the guitarist is some good band now? I should Google. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah, New Order. Well there you go. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard them once. it sounded okay - didn't do enough for me to go out and buy the album. or download it for that matter. it's wonderful that some of you like the band. i'm very happy for you. congratulations on liking music. and congratulations to those that do not like the band. it really is a great thing that you like other music, or no music at all. |

oh no i'm so angry at a band on the net fuck fuck fuck fuck it's all POP I ARRRGHG BURGER REMNANTS SPRAY FROM MY DISGUSTING MOUTH |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now that's just dirty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Nothing wrong with pop. Britney and Gwen Stefani are great. I don't think "whinging mopey gits with guitars" is anything particularly new, interesting or worthy of praise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they'rre nothing new, but did they say that? orr did they just brring an album out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NME makes me want to puke. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i perrsonally think that the artic monkeys arre worrthy of a cerrtain amount of rrespect even though i'm not that interrested in listening to them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
forr a starrt, just listen to Keane :< |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A- it is spelt ARCTIC! B- As Art school pish goes, they are not as bad as Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs etc. C - They are still Shite. An Indie Mike Skinner. I don't want rock bands singing about going out for a curry. I can do that. D - They have to be the most acne ridden band I have ever seen. E - They should have stayed an Internet Phenomenon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I agree, they are pretty honest and unpretentious, respect for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVAJSd8AfGk this is so good |
||||||||

|

Keane is not very good, what is your point ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dat aint Keane dawg. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what ever happened with the rumour about pete doherty being a concept piece made by KLF? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you misspelled Beatles lol! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck, I did. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...But that's okay, because the Beatles mis-spelt "Beetles" too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, they didn't, but NME et all do make them out to be something new and exciting (when they clearly aren't) and it is that which I was complaining about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they had artistic liscense. youre just some guy with a small tiny head |
||||||||
|

Your location makes me break into a smile every time I read it. It's one of those rare things you can read over and over again and not fail to be amused by it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i so wish that were true... i think it was exposed as a fake, and that was that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't see anything special about them really. I hate how he pronounces think or thinking like FINK. I know, I know, it's his accent but it always sounds kinda exaggerated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my friend has a friend whos seen them playing in small time in sheffield for about 5 yrs though...if the old indie guy is controlling them he's been playing a long game its Jarvis Cocker i heard too,the old indie guy,he's been propping(pluggin?) them quite a bit recently |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they're ok, but i think because of how well they've done some bands have appeared that try really hard to exaggerate the fact that they sing wtih english accents - the feeling, the kooks - and they're totally shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've had their album on my iPod for weeks and I've still not listened. I wonder if I'll like it. |
