Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys are a band I discovered not too long ago and at first I took them as a joke because of their band name. Like I honestly thought that they didn't do serious music and just made songs that were parodies like Lonely Island. But once I actually figured out who they are and first heard their song "Do I wanna know?" I instantly thought they were the bomb. I listened to their first two albums "Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not" and "Favorite Worst Nightmare" the full way through and needless to say there wasn't one song I did not like. They sound a lot like the Black Keys and they are one of my favorite alternative rock bands.  Now I am not a huge fan of a lot of indie rock, the Arctic Monkeys can truly make it sound great because of their singer's voice, lyrics, and interesting blues/rock guitar/bass lines in the back that usually remain constant but set up a perfect beat and melody for the vocals. I'm glad the Arctic Monkeys were on the ACL lineup this year because otherwise I probably would of always thought they were a joke.
