The artist/ Band I will be looking at is Arctic Monkeys were originated from four group members starting off in Sheffield England which the background origin of this group there band name is also known as the death ramps. The way which Arctic Monkeys were marketed were through the internet from social networking sites such as My space this was a fairly new way to market a band as at this time during 2002, then soon after did a couple performances in there city centre and recorded tracks in 2flystudios were they recorded 17 songs where then soon signed by the record company Dominos in 2005 and had a record deal with Epic records making 4albums, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007),
Humbug (2008–10) and their current album which is Suck It and See (2011–12.
They are currently now one of Britain’s number 1 bands for the Indie/ Rock genre as they had been the only group to have the fastest selling album beating Oasis and soon after their success they had won 5 Brit awards, winning the best British group twice and been nominated twice for the Grammy awards. So from the success of their songs Mardy Bum and other songs such as View from the afternoon was a great hit and lead to the band becoming well known of them now touring worldwide and their next upcoming tour will be on the 21st June.
