When Sheffield, England quartet, Arctic Monkeys, released their first single "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" in late 2005, the song immediately shot to No.1 in the UK singles chart. Their infectious sound--a blend of catchy pop and garage band edginess--quickly garnered them an enthusiastic fanbase in the UK and abroad. The band was touted as the "next big thing" by UK press, and their debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, became one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year.
