Arctic Monkeys
Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
(Domino)

If your life is full of drunken attempts to pull birds who wear fake tan, then Alex Turner and friends provide the perfect soundtrack. Even if you’re not forever downloading the latest ringtones and sinking 8 pints of wife-beater on a Friday night you won’t be able to avoid smiling at his wry observations on great British life.

The Arctic Monkeys‘ debut album isn’t groundbreaking – they frequently rely on simplistic repetition. But some of the tracks here do deserve the hype.

„When The Sun Goes Down“, „From The Ritz To The Rubble“ and „A Certain Romance“ are all winners. The latter sums up the band perfectly. Turner hurls out his lyrics about small town England to a background of raucous riffs and ska influenced jangly guitars.

The youth of today might have found a new set of heroes, but the bemused rest of us might be left wondering what all the fuss is about.
