An invitation...
... to go back to the dancefloor and annoy some locals. In Razzmatazz on the 16th of May. Yes, it's very early but it will sell out (tickets cost 18€).
Reportedly the fastest selling debut in British history at the time of its early 2006 release, the Arctic Monkeys' 'What People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' is a brash, hook filled album that immediately warrants music fans' attention, if perhaps not all of the prerelease hype. Clearly taking notes on the evolution of UK punk, the Sheffield based band reveal the influence of revered predecessors such as the Jam and the Clash, while most notably evoking the Libertines in their youthful, hood rat persona. On this hyperactive thirteen track set, singer/guitarist Alex Turner is armed with an arsenal of sharply observed middle class narratives (a la the Streets), which are propelled by wiry guitar lines and formidable rhythms that, at times, verge on funk (see Bloc Party). Highlights of this much lauded disc include the raucous 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor', the woozy 'Riot Van' (one of the record's few quieter moments), and the lurching 'When the Sun Goes Down'. Like Franz Ferdinand's scruffier (and considerably less effete) kid brothers, the Arctic Monkeys prove that the hyperbole of the UK music press occasionally has roots in an impressive reality. from regnyouth.blogspot.com
