Arctic Monkeys

The band I have chosen for my music video is Arctic Monkeys. 

Arctic Monkeys is an English rock band formed in Sheffield in 2002. The group consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Matt Helders (drums, vocals), Jamie Cook (guitar, keyboards), and Nick O'Malley (bass guitar, backing vocals).

They have released six studio albums, their debut album is the fastest-selling debut album by a band in UK chart history, and in 2013, Rolling Stone ranked it the 30th-greatest debut album. The band has won seven Brit Awards – winning both Best British Group and Best British Album three times and has been nominated for five Grammy Awards. They also won the Mercury Prize in 2006 for their debut album, in addition to receiving nominations in 2007, 2013 and 2018. The band have headlined at the Glastonbury Festival twice, in 2007 and again in 2013.

Arctic Monkeys were heralded as one of the first bands to come to public attention via the Internet, with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed. Their online presence is in no way outdated, they have their own website and music videos on youtube for the majority of their tracks, some of which boasting more than 900 million views.

I have chosen a track from the bands first studio album, 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'. The track now has over 52 million plays on youtube, though no released music video.
