Who are these guys, like White Stripes-like? And why did they sell so many albums so quickly?

All I know is that they are number one in the UK Singles Charts with When The Sun Goes Down

They have their own website and somehow people got to hear about their music via this site. They became popular by allowing people to download their music rather than releasing CDs.

Pretty good, I've heard their whole album. Good to see bands such as them actually making a dent in the big charts (and even achieving number 1!) 8)

I've been doing my own Internet tactics to support my band ;D

The Arctic Monkeys are a pretty good group. I doubt if their CD/success will ever see light of day over here :\'(

They have done amazingly well, and have proved that downloading does help record sales. I much prefer their first single to their latest number 1 hit though.

Apparently their CD made it to number 5 in the latest NME best of list. ::)
Hey, it's a fantastic album, but #5 best British debut ever? I think it's a bit early to make that call (the disk has only been out a week!)

Only my opinion but I think they're trying to attempt to be original, trying to be the old Oasis. I don't really like their music or the band members much...Good for them if they're getting popular but I'll be avoiding them.
