Imagine being a teenager and before you even release an album your band starts getting compared to the Beatles. Then imagine that when you finally do release music, it really is absolutely incredible and somehow you live up to the nearly impossible expectations placed on you.  Thats the story of the Arctic Monkeys. While they were instantly a “best band ever” in the UK, it took them a while to break through to US audiences but with a little help from Josh Homme of QOTSA, they are here to stay.  I love this band, here are a few of my favorite tunes.
