The Genre of music I have chosen to focus on this year is Indie music, more specifically, Indie Rock.
Indie rock artists that I like include Coldplay, Vampire Weekend, The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Kaiser Chiefs, Kings of Leon, Oasis,The Kooks and Arctic Monkeys.
Specifically this year, I have chosen to focus mainly on the Arctic Monkeys.
| The band's current line-up. |
Arctic Monkeys were formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield, England. The current line-up of the band is Alex Turner (Rhythm/Lead Guitar and Vocals), Matt Helders (Drums &Vocals), Jamie Cook (Lead/Rhythm Guitar) and Nick O'Malley (Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals).
In 2006, former member Andy Nicholson left the band just after the release of their debut album, "Whatever people say I am, That's What I'm Not".
The band has won seven BRIT Awards – winning "Best British Group" and "Best British Album" three times. They have also been nominated for three Grammy Awards. Furthermore, they won the Mercury Prize in 2006 for their debut album, on top of receiving nominations in 2007 and 2013. The band have headlined at the Glastonbury Festival twice, once in 2007 and then again in 2013.
"Death Ramps" is an alias of the band that is used when working with other artists, such as Miles Kane and Richard Hawley. they have released 5 tracks, which are all B-Sides to Arctic Monkeys singles.
