My buddy Luis from Pretty Much Amazing meant to start his Arctic Monkeys B-Side & Rarities Project a while ago, but never got around to it. We all know that he was really just waiting for me to arrive! Why? Well….it is pretty well known that Arctic Monkeys are my favorite band by far, So Luis asked me to help him with the project, and I couldn’t be more excited to get this bad boy rolling.
The point of the project is to document everything that the best current band in the UK has done. Similar to Oasis, the boys have put out amazing b-sides to compliment their ep’s and singles. They have done great covers from The Strokes to Amy Winehouse. They have put out a hell of a lot of material in their career already, so I will help catch you guys up. To me they may just be the most important current band playing today. They are one of the biggest bands in the UK today, they have got great critical acclaim everywhere and they are still young! With every release the band demonstartes growth. Alex Turner’s lyrics as creative as they come. Have you seen them live? They put on a live performance that you will always remem ber.
The posts will all take place at his site, but I will update you guys whenever I make one. This will be a big project taking up a good amount of time. I got tons of stuff for you guys. You may have heard some of them, and there may be a few that you have never seen before. Either way I promise you that this project will remain entertaining. The Arctic Monkeys may just become your favorite band after this is all said and done. Get your Arctic fix!

Monkeys, I luv! :*** Good job! (:
if your looking for the ultimate in unreleased arctic monkeys stuff, look up the demo version of ‘bigger boys and stolen sweethearts’ or there are a few acoustic versions around too,from various radio sessions.
also their version of girls aloud’s ‘love machine’ is a permanant favourite of mine….
