Again, I’m a little behind on the latest buzz. I could claim that I don’t like this band’s name or that they are just another two-month hipster trend, but the truth of the matter is, I was too busy listening to Rush and wasn’t really paying attention.
But, if you think you are “cool†and want others to think you are “cool†too, then commit this to memory: UK Kids not yet 20 + Post Punk and Dance Rock Tendencies = Hotness. In 2006, the Arctic Monkeys will be what the Bloc Party was to 2005 and what Franz Ferdinand was to 2004 - combined. The Arctic Monkeys are so hot they set the greasy hair of several hipsters a blaze during the four shows they did recently in the states.
They’ve garnered tons of critical acclaim with a couple toss off singles and their live shows - the few they have played. The ultra trendy have completely forgot about Christmas and are waiting in with rapt attention for February 21 when the Arctic Monkeys will release their full-length debut What Ever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. If you live in the UK then you can have it on January 30.
Never being a band to do, or say, anything quickly, the Arctic Monkey’s long-winded titled debut will be preceded by the slightly less protracted titled single When the Sun Goes Down on January 24 in the States, January 16 for the Brits.
Also, if you were a poet and didn't even know then try your hand in the latest eLarceny contest.
