Band Review : Arctic Monkeys

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Im starting my review with my all time favourite band.They are a bunch of english guys from High Green,the suburbs of sheffield (england) who called themselves Arctic Monkeys.Well,its not a monkey bussines 4 them when it comes 2 make a great music.Taking the position of lead vocal and guitar is Alex Turner.the guitar is played by Jamie Cook .The drumstick is held by Matt Helders who also act as backing vocal the bass position is formerly held by Andy Nicholson

The sound of Arctic Monkeys can be classified as Indie rock,Post-punk or garage rock. kinda make you to swing your head and move your feet

uhh…writing review is kinda bored…

Basically,most of the song will start with a catchy intro,a very creative fusion of guitar,drum and bass.for the example of song Choo Choo.Alex play the guitar to make it sound like a train.YOU MUST LISTEN!when you are listening to the intro,you will kinda asked by them to listen for more.just try to listen to their song such as Fake Tales Of San Fransisco,Fluorescent Adoloescent,or Mardy Bum. the intro is so catchy and cool that it will bring the mood to taste the monkeys!

the lyrics is mainly about everything faced by the youth and everything happening in the social community for instance,Fluorescent Adolescent will tell you how much teenagers can change when they grow up.They will be more mature and act more like adutl.well….don’t u remember all sorts of crazy stuff that u hav done before and now?hurm…like going to wild party or someting like that.haha.

How good this Monkeys?well….they are really good cuz they won the award Best British Group from the BRIT Awards for 2 years in a row that is 2007 and 2008

more awards? their album,What Ever People Say I Am,Thats what im not won Best British Album of BRIT award of 2007 Their next album,Favourite worse nightmare also wond the Best Album from BRIT Award of 2008

there’s a whole bunch of awards they won.and its the mark of their great talents and creativity

life after SPM is a complete freedom from school…haha…but after doin nuthin more than a month…i got struck by this kind of feeling…

the feeling that stuck all of us if we keep doin nothin 4 a while…huhu….I’m so bored now!!!!

so,to get rid of this feeling,i decided 2 fill my friendster blog with anythin that come up in my mind…(don’t really care if no one read my blog.haha)

my music taste now leaning to local underground bands….when i heard their songs,there’s no much difference beetwen this local bands and the international bands…this situation make me realize that malaysians can come up with great musics.

juz try 2 listen 2 local bands such as(u can find them in myspace) bunkface,revenge,Y2k,7 collar t-shirt,oh chentaku and………..

gosh….the list will getting longer if i keep listing the great bands.if u if u really don’t care,there are hundreds or maybe thousands of local underground with a huge talent waiting 2 b discovered.and they need the help of us,the malaysians 2 support them…

how 2 support?hurm….if i’m living in KL,i will go 2 their gigs every single weeks!!and buy their albums or EP’s

but….what can i do…im living in kelantan…the least thing that i can do is listening 2 them and reccomending the bands 2 my friends

well…i think this is enough 4 this time…im gonna review songs and bands next time…

chiaow!!!
