Arctic Monkeys Release Secret Vinyl Single Under ‘Death Ramps’ Moniker
The Arctic Monkeys are without doubt, the biggest band in the UK right now. Their albums sell in huge amounts around the world, and their gigs sell out in hours, if not minutes. So it comes as a bit of a surprise to learn that they have chosen to release a single under a different name.
A band called Death Ramps have a 7″ vinyl single listed on Domino Records website (Arctic Monkeys record label) which includes the songs The Death Camps and Nettles. The reason we all know it’s the Arctic Monkeys is the not so subtle clue under the listing which says:
Unfortunately, we’re not allowed to tell you the true identity of the Death Ramps but needless to say they’re a band with A Certain Romance (wink, wink).
A Certain Romance is of course the name of one of the Arctic Monkeys songs, which appeared on Whatever You say I am, That’s What I’m Not.
Unfortunately, you and me are all too late to get our hands on a copy of the limited edition white label vinyl, as all of the 250 copies have already been snapped up.
I don’t know why bands do this kind of thing, but I can only imagine it’s to reward the fans who are on the ball, and check the Domino site often for news, and new releases. Or it could just be that the Arctic Monkeys are just sooo famous now, that occasionally they need to release something without a huge amount of publicity.
