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.
