Alex Turner and Jamie Cook were childhood friends, bonding over a shared passion for music. While their classmates chased football dreams, they were captivated by the raw energy of classic rock and the swagger of Britpop.
Matt Helders, known for his explosive drumming style honed from countless late-night sessions in his attic, completed the sonic foundation.
Andy Nicholson played bass for their first album, but he left the band in 2006, and Nick O'Malley then joined as the permanent bassist, solidifying the current lineup.
They called themselves "Starfire Boys" for a while, but the name never quite stuck. Legend has it that the now-iconic "Arctic Monkeys" came about thanks to a friend's offhand joke about a documentary featuring monkeys in the Arctic (a documentary that, hilariously, turned out to be non-existent).
