The Arctic Monkeys signed to the independent label Domino Records after a bidding war in 2005. Their first album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not was released in early 2006, and soon became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history. The band has since released three more albums being Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007), Humbug (2009) and Suck It and See (2011) all reaching No.1 in the UK album charts.
Alex Turner's (lead singer) initial songwriting with Arctic Monkeys was based around specific concepts, particularly on their first album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, which is considered to be a concept album centered around nightlife in the UK. He later progressed to more varied themes, especially noticeable on Humbug and Suck It and See where he really changed their usually genre. Their lyrics matured as they did, although their lyrics were always well-written.
They've won numerous awards and currently have a very wide fan-base, bigger than ever.
