Former members include Andy Nicholson (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Glyn Jones (lead vocals, rhythm guitar). Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, released in early 2006, became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history, surpassing Kula Shaker's K and remains the fastest-selling debut album for a band in the UK. Since then the band have released two more albums: Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007) and Humbug (2009). The band's fourth album Suck It and See will be released on 6 June 2011.
Arctic Monkeys are heralded as one of the first acts to come to the public attention via the Internet (fan-based sites rather than from the band), with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed
The discography of Arctic Monkeys, a British indie rock band, currently consists of three studio albums, two extended plays (EPs) and nine singles.
Arctic Monkeys were formed in 2002 by guitarist and vocalist Alex Turner, guitarist Jamie Cook, bass guitarist Andy Nicholson and drummer and backing vocalist Matt Helders. After recording and independently distributing demos, the band released their debut EP, Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys, on 30 May 2005. Among various offers, Domino Records was the label favoured by the band, and they signed a deal with the London-based group in June 2005.
Arctic Monkeys' first release on Domino was the single "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", which went straight to #1 in the United Kingdom. A second single, "When the Sun Goes Down", was released a week before their full-length debut and followed in the footsteps of its predecessor by topping the UK chart. The band's debut album was released on 23 January 2006; Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not reached #1 in the UK and Australia and became the fastest-selling debut album in British history, selling 363,735 copies in its first week.
A second EP was released on 24 April; Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? featured the last material recorded with original bassist Andy Nicholson, whose departure from the band was announced in June. He was replaced by Nick O'Malley, formerly of The Dodgems. "Leave Before the Lights Come On" was the first single released after Nicholson's departure, which reached #4 in the UK. "Fake Tales of San Francisco" was also released in August, though only in the US as a radio-only single and the Netherlands.
The Monkeys returned to the recording studio in late-2006 to record the follow-up to their 4× Platinum debut. "Brianstorm" was the first single released from the album, which was denied the top-spot only by Beyoncé and Shakira's "Beautiful Liar". Favourite Worst Nightmare was released on 18 April and reached #1 in the UK while improving on Whatever...'s American performance by reaching #7 on the Billboard 200. The second single released from Favourite Worst Nightmare was "Fluorescent Adolescent", which reached #5. On December 3 "Teddy Picker" was released, which became the band's lowest-charting single at #20.

 My Favourite Music Artists (21 person items)"
Another "Indie-Band" I really like. The music delivers some great emotions'n all. Unfortunately they didn't convince me that much when I saw them live. :/"
