Arctic Monkeys started back in 2002, as an instrumental only group. Alex and Matt, who were close friends and neighbours at the time, teamed up with their pal Andy to form the group. After the addition of Jamie, the Arctic Monkeys played their first official gig in 2003 and soon began recording demo tracks.
Currently, the Arctic Monkeys members are Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Matt Helders and Nick O’Malley. Alex provides lead vocals and rhythmic guitar, along with the occasional stint on keyboard and percussion. Jamie provides lead guitar, along with keyboard and backing vocals, Matt plays the drums and provides backing vocals, whilst Nick plays bass and also provides occasional backing vocals.
Former member Andy Nicholson, who played the bass guitar, was in the band for four years, spanning from 2002-2006. The Arctic Monkeys began to gain popularity as they handed out CDs, containing their 18 demo tracks, at various gigs. The group also gained quite the following on the social media platform MySpace, and are now described as one of the first bands to come to the public’s attention through the Internet.
The band’s large following on MySpace aided them in the promotion of their debut EP ‘Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys’, which was released in 2005. Following on from this – when performing on the Carling Stage, reserved for unsigned/less known bands, at both Reading and Leeds Festivals, the gang attracted an unusually large crowd.
In their early days, Arctic Monkeys would attend, and often play support, at fellow Sheffield band Milburn’s gigs. Many fans have since drawn comparisons between the two bands’ music, claiming there is a striking similarity between their chords and lyrics.
Despite recording multiple demo tracks from the moment they formed back in 2002, the Arctic Monkeys first official single was the iconic ‘I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor’. The debut track was released in October 2005, and flew straight to the Number 1 spot on the UK Singles Chart.
The track, which featured on their 2006 debut album ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’, was ranked Number 7 on NME’s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and was nominated for multiple awards. Prior to the release of their seventh album, the band’s very own Matt Helders gave an update on their incoming new music in January 2022, addressing their ever-changing sound and obstacles the album faced.
The drummer spoke on an Instagram Live, revealing that the band were in the “early stages” of writing their new record, however the process was being hindered by the pandemic. The drummer explained that they were facing “obvious obstacles” and “being separated by the sea is one of them”.
Arctic Monkeys have released a total of seven studio albums, along with two live albums. Their studio albums include: ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ (2006), ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’ (2007), ‘Humbug’ (2009), ‘Suck It and See’ (2011), ‘AM’ (2013), ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’ (2018) and ‘The Car’ (2022).
Raking in over 100 nominations for various awards over the years, the Arctic Monkeys have a pretty impressive collection of wins under their belt. Since taking home the BRIT Award for British Breakthrough Act in 2006, the band have gone on to win six more BRITs – these being British Group, three times, and British Album of the Year, three times.
The Monkeys were nominated for British Group at the BRIT Awards 2023, but lost out to newcomers Wet Leg – who also proceeded to parody Alex Turner’s infamous BRITs acceptance speech from 2014 whilst picking up their gong for Best New Artist!
Although the Arctic Monkeys will not be eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until 2031, the same cannot be said for Alex Turner’s clobber. To many fans’ delight, the legendary front man’s leather jacket, which he wore during the band’s 2013-2014 ‘AM Tour’, made its way to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame museum in 2017. Also adding to the band’s list of achievements, they have been awarded 20 NME Awards, whilst achieving an impressive five GRAMMY Award nominations.
