Arctic Monkeys Saturday

So it's Saturday again and time for another song. The 23rd of March 2005 I made a mix-cd to my sister with the somewhat mushy and melodramatic title ‘From One Heart To Another’. It consisted of 15 songs with motivations. The forthcoming 15 Saturdays I will present one of these songs per week with the motivations translated into English, so that you always have a song I thought was great in March of 2005 to listen to as you begin the weekend. This is song number 9 in this slow moving series. My motivation for this Arctic Monkeys song is pretty interesting considering they were unknown for the vast majority of people at the time:
Like a mixture of The Libertines and Razorlight, British, melodic, relaxed and pretty damn nice actually. The band name is a bit strange (well, even terrible) but their style is amazing and uncompromising. Someone in the dagensskiva.com forum claimed that this will be the next NME hype. I think that is a correct assumption.
A few months after I made this cd Arctic Monkeys released their debut album and became the fastest selling artist in British music history. Just to keep you posted.
