Jamie Cook (guitar), Andy Nicholson (bass), and Matt Helders (drums) formed the Arctic Monkeys in Sheffield, England, in 2003. A year prior, Turner and Cook received guitars for Christmas. From there, these teenagers made practicing an obsession, memorizing hits by the White Stripes and the Vines. After building a phenomonal following on the internet they signed a deal with Domino in 2004. Raucous first single "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" debuted at number one was swiftley followed by their debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, which set a record for more records sold than the rest of the Top 20 album chart combined. They wasted no time releasing new material, and that spring the EP 'Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys' appeared. Nick O'Malley replaced bass player Nicholson later that year. The Arctic Monkeys released sophomore album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, in April 2007 which was hailed as an instant Modern Classic.
