Είναι η μπάντα που σημάδεψε (και ακόμα σημαδεύει για κάποιους) την εφηβεία όλων εμάς της γενιάς του '90. Είναι η μοναδική βρετανική μπάντα των 00's που άντεξε την πτώση του indie rock στην αλλαγή της δεκαετίας και συνεχίζει με ακόμα μεγαλύτερη επιτυχία. Είναι η δεύτερη μπάντα (μετά τους Beatles) που έχει 5 συνεχόμενα Nο.1 albums από την πρώτη εβδομάδα κυκλοφορίας στη Βρετανία. Είναι από τις ελάχιστες περιπτώσεις τεράστιων ονομάτων που ξεπήδησαν μετά το 2000 και θα γνωρίζουν τα παιδιά μας. Είναι η δική μας "μεγάλη μπάντα" που απολαμβάνουμε σε πραγματικό χρόνο, μεγαλώνουμε μαζί της και σημαδεύει τις στιγμές μας. Αγαπάμε τους Arctic Monkeys γιατί εκτός από απίστευτη μουσική, μας χαρίζουν το συναίσθημα του να είσαι εκεί όταν κάτι σπουδαίο γεννιέται. Από όλα τα albums, τα EPs, τα singles και τα b-sides που έχουν κυκλοφορήσει στα πρώτα 8 χρόνια της καριέρας τους (2005-2013), αυτά είναι τα 20 κομμάτια που ξεχωρίζει το Indiego Sound. Είναι τα κομμάτια που μπορείτε να τρίψετε άνετα στη μούρη του μπαμπά την επόμενη φορά που θα σας μιλήσει για τους Deep Purple.

(Humbug , LP , 2009)

Thinking of excuses to postpone

But your profile did not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne"

(CD single , 2006)

What you've done"
