The band has released seven studio albums: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006), Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007), Humbug (2009), Suck It and See (2011), AM (2013), Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino (2018) and The Car (2022) (the first six of which debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart.
Each of the band's first five singles "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor", "When the Sun Goes Down", "Leave Before The Lights Come On", "Brianstorm" and "Fluorescent Adolescent" hit the UK Top Five, but their sixth single, "Teddy Picker", only went Top 20 and their seventh single, "Crying Lightning" peaked at #12.
The band's rise to success started in late 2004/early 2005 when demo songs that had been handed out in CD form at gigs found their way onto the internet. These demos rapidly spread among message boards and friends leading to a growing fan base for the band, and were collected on the unofficial Beneath the Boardwalk, which the band recognizes on their website. The band owe much of their success to viral buzz via the Internet, and have eschewed typical 'commercial' channels, including refusing to appear on the UK's (now discontinued) Top Of The Pops music program, which was often seen as a gateway to success.
The band's debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, held the record for the largest first week sales of a debut album in the UK (in its first week, it sold more than the rest of the Top 20 albums combined). The album sold over 360,000 copies in its first week, but lost the title in November 2007 to Leona Lewis's album Spirit.
On 19th June 2006 the band officially announced that founding member and bassist Andy Nicholson had left the band after missing the American leg of their tour due to 'fatigue' and the other band members couldn't stand the constant 'missing his girlfriend syndrome' so they told him to sling his hook. Former Dodgems bassist Nick O'Malley was initially brought in as a stand-in, and played the band's remaining summer commitments. He was then announced as Nicholson's permanent replacement.
The single "Leave Before The Lights Come On" came out on August 14th, but only reached Number 4 on the UK charts, denying the band a third consecutive number 1 single.
Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not won the 2006 Mercury Prize, was chosen as the best album of year 2006 by Q Magazine, and received a slew of other accolades.
Their second album Favourite Worst Nightmare was released on April 23rd 2007. It was preceded by "Brianstorm", the first single from the album, which was released a week before. Like its predecessor, "Favourite Worst Nightmare" sold more than the rest of the Top 20 combined, and - due to an error on iTunes - every song on the record appeared on the UK Top 200 Singles the next week.
When asked about Favourite Worst Nightmare Turner commented, "We haven't changed that much. It's still about making contact with girls or not making contact with girls".
The band began to write and record demos for the third album in January 2008, Turner said "We had tunes that we'd already been playing on tour so we recorded them. That’s six [songs]. We’re going to take it easy and start practicing over the summer and doing new stuff."
The band premiered new material from the unreleased album during their January 2009 tour of New Zealand, playing small venues in Wellington and Auckland ahead of the Big Day Out festival. Their first show in more than a year was on January 13, 2009 at Wellington's Town Hall. In both cities, the new songs played were "Crying Lightning", "Go-Kart", "Dangerous Animals" and "Pretty Visitors." The full setlist from the Auckland gig is available online. Also played was a cover of the Nick Cave song "Red Right Hand." During their last tour, the band had played new songs "Put Me In A Terror Pocket", "Sandtrap," and "The Fire and The Thud" live.
Lead singer/songwriter Alex Turner started a two-man project with the singer from the Rascals, Miles Kane.
The band is called 'The Last Shadow Puppets'

Arctic Monkeys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she's been too much magic beans to walk all men away
And she's been eatin' too much magic beans to walk all men away
Put up your picture and the playful love will get around
Yeah but we'll get around yeah
Yeah but we'll get around
Well everyones felling alright
No I won't be sleeping tonight
We're felling silly, I'm feeling oh so sick
And I can't see you through the smoke because the clouds so thick
And theres a fire as your dancing to the disco sound
Put up your picture baby and love will get around
Yeah but we'll get around yeah
But yeah we'll get around
Everyone's feeling alright
I won't be sleeping today
And I won't be sleeping tonight
The lyrics of Arctic Monkeys' song Ravey Ravey Ravey Club can be open to interpretation, but the overall tone of the song seems to be one of reckless abandon and disregard for consequences. The opening lines "She's the victim, well fuck all that we ain't goin home today" suggest a lack of concern for the well-being of others, as if the partygoers are too wrapped up in their own pleasure to care about anyone else's needs or feelings. The reference to "magic beans" also hints at a sense of intoxication or altered reality that allows the characters in the song to act without inhibition.
The chorus emphasizes the hedonistic atmosphere of the club, with the repetition of the phrase "Everyones feeling alright" suggesting a group mentality of indulgence and excess. The line "I won't be sleeping today, and I won't be sleeping tonight" further emphasizes the idea that this night will be one of non-stop partying and fun, with no concern for the repercussions.
The second verse adds to the chaotic energy of the song, with the image of dancers surrounded by thick clouds of smoke and flames adding to the sense of danger and abandon. Once again, the lyrics suggest a lack of concern for others ("I can't see you through the smoke") and a focus on personal pleasure and stimulation ("And theres a fire as your dancing to the disco sound").
Overall, Ravey Ravey Ravey Club portrays a wild night out that is all about indulgence and excess, with little thought given to the consequences or the well-being of others.
