Arctic Monkeys - Teddy Picker | New Single and Video Review

The Arctic Monkeys are one of my favourite bands, and not just currently either, probably of all time.
They’d at least be in my top 10, which for a relatively new band less than five years formed, and with just two full studio albums to their name is quite an astounding achievement.
Last week, I told […]

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 […]

UK Singles Charts 26/08/2007 | Kanye West Still Number 1 - Sean Kingston At Number 2

Kanye West proved his song title correct by staying at number 1 for the 2nd week running with ‘Stronger’. Sean Kingston has gone straight in at number 2 with the strangely catchy but otherwise utter crap ‘Beautiful Girls’.

I don’t really like it, although it is catchy in an […]
