Inspired by @teamfreak16 I bring you an A-Z series of unusual bands and artists. Most of these I have discovered online, or through the local college radio station and to my knowledge these are not widely popular bands, musicians and artists. So! To kick it off we have the Artic Monkeys. I am so impressed with these guys that I actually bought a hard copy of their cd! (I rarely buy cds any more). While I am not the most skilled at reviewing music, I can tell you what I like about it. To my ear - they have a really exciting blend of alternative meets chill rock (is chill rock a thing?) sound. As in this song - link below - "Do I Wanna Know" - features interesting vocal stylings, - check out how many words he is able to fit in a flow. "R U Mine" which I also suggest you check out, features a harder rock feel and interesting use of dynamics, and breaks.
The band is from England, which explains the accent in the vocals.
