Under- Appreciated Band: Arctic Monkeys



 British pop/rock bands are probably essential to life. Popular Brit music ranges from The Beatles to Oasis. But my personal favorite has the be England's Arctic Monkeys.
They gained public attention via the internet, and were advertised by fan sites and not the actual band. 

What I love most about Arctic Monkeys is that they preform at small venue areas, and they are not so obsessed with becoming famous.
Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not became the fastest selling debut album from a band. This album is one of my favorite albums every, with the amazing songs like Mardy Bum, and the fast past dance song I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor.

After their debut album, Monkeys have been releasing more edgy albums like Favourite Worst Nightmare, Humbug, and their most recent, Suck It And See. 

Though their style of music is starting to change from happy dance music to more mature songs, I still love them just as much as i did in 2006. 
  

 About two years ago,my friends drove all the way to Detriot to see their concert. I have never been so insanly jealous in my life. My whole life dream is to see Alex Turner sing Florescent Adolescent live. 

But I know one day I will fulfill this dream at any cost.

Most Under appreciated Band- Fleet Foxes

There are very folk bands that I can stand. Majority of the music just doesn't interest me at all. 
But there is one specific folk band that is probably one of my favorite band of this current decade. The indie folk band from Seattle, Washington gained some slight notoriety with their second EP, Sun Giant over the formerly popular social website, MySpace
Every one of their songs is extremely relaxing and insanely beautiful.

One of the bands most popular songs is White Winter Hymnal, which sounds as though it is laced with artistry and soaked in beauty.


Listening to Fleet Fox just makes me want to live a life in some abandoned woods in the middle of no where or live on some orchard.


 My favorite song from the band has to be Mykonos. The presentation that lead singer Robin Pecknold creates sounds like paradise, but also alluring at the same time. The back up vocals and guitar sounds heavenly.

Fleet Foxes is one of my favorite bands, because they can always easily set me into a good mood when I listen to their music.
