Here's a very cool, stripped down acoustic version of Arctic Monkeys performing "Why You'd Only Call Me When You're High," from their new album, the Mercury Music Prize nominated AM
Hailing from England, Arctic Monkeys started dishing out their infectious form of indie rock in 2002. The band consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, lead/rhythm guitar), Jamie Cook (rhythm/lead guitar), Nick O'Malley (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Matt Helders (drums, backing vocals). The band has released five studio albums: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006), Favourite Worst Nightmare (2007), Humbug (2009), Suck It and See (2011) and AM (2013), as well as one live album At the Apollo (2008).
