Arctc Monkeys Live 2014

LIVE REVIEW: Arctic Monkeys in Council Bluffs, Iowa (7/30/14)

Thump. Clap. Thump. Clap. Thump. Clap. Thump. That’s the sound of rock ‘n’ roll infesting your brain. It swims from your ears through your heart and pulses through veins. It attacks you like a rabid animal and gives you the jitters like a chill down your spine. That’s the feeling you get when Arctic Monkeys […]

Studio Footage, Steak, And A Superfan In New Arctic Monkeys Video For “Snap Out Of It”

Arctic Monkeys have released another music video off their most recent album, AM. Following up the chic, anachronistic swagger of the “Arabella” video, this Focus Creeps (Trash Talk, King Krule, Girls) clip for “Snap Out of It” follows the IRL emotions of a woman who probably has a Tumblr full of Arctic Monkey gifs. The woman (actress Stephanie Sigman) spends much of […]

REQUIRED LISTENING: Ovlov – “The Great Crocodile”

Back in April, we got word that CT-based band Ovlov and Philly crew Little Big League were putting out a split 7″ together on Tiny Engines. It comes out in August, but today both bands shared songs off the split over at Stereogum because, let’s be honest, there’s no way our anticipation until then wouldn’t drive us insane. Ovlov’s […]

Watch Arctic Monkeys Cover Tame Impala’s “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards”

While in the midst of their current tour across Australia, Arctic Monkeys stopped by Triple J to deliver their contribution to the radio station’s cover series aptly titled “Like A Version.” Siding with a cover of Tame Impala‘s “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” couldn’t be more appropriate since the two groups will be sharing […]

2013 delivered a sea of great albums, but five stood out above the rest. Check out what albums made my cut! 5.

LISTEN: Arctic Monkeys Release New B-Side

As a B-side to “One For The Road,” the England-based band has released the track “You’re So Dark.” Mixing the band’s R&B influence with frontman Alex Turner’s sultry voice, the track is an excellent companion to the previously released AM. This new track is no surprise, as Arctic Monkeys have already treated fans to two previously […]

REVIEW: Arctic Monkeys – ‘AM’

Artist: Arctic Monkeys Album: AM Genre: Indie Rock, Garage Rock Label: Domino Records The Arctic Monkeys have long held a strange place in indie rock. Just as every other indie rock band seemed to be either a watered down combination of The Strokes and The Smiths (we get it, hipsters, you like your guitars reverberating […]

WATCH: Queens Of The Stone Age – “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?” (Arctic Monkeys Cover)

Queens of the Stone Age‘s Josh Homme produced the new Arctic Monkeys album, AM, and has now covered the single from said album with his main project. Perhaps unexpected, though, this version is far more relaxed and chill; though it isn’t just Josh singing and playing on it, this version is definitely acoustic. Overall, it’s […]
