Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band that formed in Sheffield in 2002, and they quickly rose to international fame with their debut album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" in 2006. The band consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Matt Helders (drums, vocals), Jamie Cook (guitar, keyboards), and Nick O'Malley (bass guitar, backing vocals). Known for their witty lyricism, energetic performances, and evolving sound, Arctic Monkeys have become one of the UK's most revered and influential bands of the 21st century, constantly defying and reshaping the indie rock genre.

Their discography boasts a range of ambitious projects, from the punk-inspired thrills of their early work to the lounge-inflected, conceptually driven "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" released in 2018. In 2020, they offered a treat to their fans with "Live at the Royal Albert Hall," a live album that captures the essence of their on-stage prowess, and contributes to various charitable causes. Continuing to innovate, the band released "The Car" in 2022, exploring new dimensions in their music and reaffirming their stature in the rock scene. Singles like "I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am" and "Body Paint" further exemplify their creative progression, showcasing their ability to intertwine reflective storytelling with a refined sound aesthetic.
