Arctic Monkeys:Fake Tales of San Francisco


Unfortunately I'm going to have to resort to making comparisons here. The Strokes. Yes, they sound like the Strokes. Only Louder, faster, and more with more chops. So if you are like me and hate the Strokes because for three years it's all anybody wanted to yap about, but knew that you'd probably like them if your friends weren't force fucking your ear with "Is This It" then give these guys a listen.
I am further impressed by the fact that not a one of these kids are over 20. (as of this posting) Mo Fo's are great. Particularly Fake Tales of San Francisco, a scathing stab at scenesters talking shit. While San Francisco is a bit far for these boys. I only live 8 hours away and still here people ranting about that town and how "Fucking a-MAZE-ing" it is. As lead singer Alex so eloquently puts it

"It doesn't matter where you a’re from or if your are in a band or not; there'’s always knob-heads."

Word.

Here is a live performance for I'll Bet You Look Good On Dance Floorloor
