In 2001, Arctic Monkeys Reading Festival, neighbors Alex Turner and Jamie Cook learned to play guitar, then the two boys received guitars for Christmas, the pair formed a band with fellow Andy Turner Helders.Nicholson Nicholson and Matt was playing bass guitar, so just Helders on drums - "was all that was left ... they all had guitars so I bought a kit after a bit. "According to an interview with Blender magazine, Turner was not the original singer of the band, but instead, Glyn Jones, another attendee of Stocksbridge High School, used to be the singer.
Jones said he and Turner were bored [after our GCSE exams so we started writing a song about a geek in our years ...", and he left the band because he "did not have the dedication to take anything else ... Me they were just a bunch of children playing, because we were tired. "Although reports have suggested that they named themselves after Helders uncle (or father) band, Helders more later admitted that "so many people asking us that in the UK, so we just started making up stories," and that he simply did not have courage to tell the original reporter that he had lied.
After some gigs in 2003, the band began to record demos and burn them onto CDs to give present in the shows, which were promptly shared file among fans. When asked about the popularity of the band's MySpace website in an interview with Prefix Magazine, the band said they did not know what it was, and that the site was originally created by fans. "[When we went number one in England] we were in the news and radio about how MySpace has helped us.
They began to grow in popularity across the north of England, receiving attention from BBC Radio and the British tabloids. In May 2005, Arctic Monkeys released their first single, Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys, with the songs "Fake Tales of San Francisco "and" From Ritz to the Rubble. "
This version was limited to 500 thousand CDs and 7 ", but was also available for download from iTunes Music Store. Soon after, the band played the Carling Stage at Reading and Leeds Festivals, reserved for known or unsigned bands less.
Eventually, they signed with Domino in June 2005. The band said they were attracted to the "DIY ethic" of Domino owner Laurence Bell, who ran the label of its fixed and only signed bands that he liked personally.The Daily Star reported that the UK This was followed in October by a one million Publication Agreement R $ with EMI and a contract of $ 725,000 with Epic Records for the United States. Arctic Monkeys denied this on your site, recording the newspaper "The Daily Stir ". However, Domino have licensed the Australian and New Zealand publishing rights to EMI and the Japanese rights independent label Hostess.
The first single on Domino, "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", was released on October 17, 2005 and went straight to # 1 on the UK Singles Chart, beating Sugababes and Robbie Williams. Four months later, they made their first appearance on the cover of NME.
