ARCTIC MONKEYS are an English indie rock band. Formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield, Yorkshire. Arctic Monkeys began when teenaged neighbors Alex Turner and Jamie Cook received guitars for Christmas 2001; soon, the pair was rehearsing with school friends. They began playing locally in mid-2003 and soon began handing out CD-R demos to fans, who took it upon themselves to file-share the songs. This in turn bolstered Arctic Monkeys' fan base, which was further consolidated when the music was uploaded onto a fan-created MySpace page for the band. Band Members
