| Arctic Monkeys Talk About New Album | ||
| Arctic Monkeys have been telling NME all about their new album which should be out at the beginning of next year. According to the band, most of the songs on the new album have been written and they're about to begin work in the studio in the forthcoming weeks. While also hinting at another possible tour (though probably a small one) frontman Alex Turner said: "We'll do a few gigs in December, but we're going to start rehearsing on Friday (8th, last week) for the new record and we're going in next month to do some recording. "[We've got] about 13 or 14 songs, but it's in different states. It might be just an idea, it might be something I've done with someone played on acoustics and some of them we all know it already, all the arrangements and shit like that." Drummer Matt Helders spoke about the album possibly being released exactly a year after the debut album, admitting: "It will probably be a bit later, but you never know. I think from our point of view we could have it ready for then." |

| A Message From Arctic Monkeys Regarding Mercury Prize | ||
| From arcticmonkeys.com: We had a fantastic night and we're really chuffed with winning the award. It was unexpected but it means a lot to us as the competition was from other musicians we really respect. We strongly believe in the ethos of the Nationwide Mercury Prize in that it is about the music and not everything else that goes with it and are therefore really flattered by the decision. Regarding the £20,000 cheque, we are going to donate it to a worthy charity which we would prefer to keep private. We have discussed it with Andy who played an equal part in the making of the album and he is happy with our choice. As for the near future, we are really looking forward to taking a break to continue writing our new album. Arctic Monkeys |

| Arctic Monkeys Win Mercury Prize! | ||
Twenty thousand pounds, people. That's £20,000! Arctic Monkeys have been awarded the Nationwide Mercury Prize 2006 for their debut album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' despite stiff competition from the likes of Thom Yorke, Guillemots, Hot Chip and others.The three original members were present at the ceremony to pick up the award and the accompanying cheque for twenty thousand pounds. Alex Turner must have seemed most surprised with the win as he quipped: "Somebody call 999, Richard Hawley's been robbed!", referring to the fellow Sheffield musician who was also nominated - and tipped by Alex Turner - for the prize. Turner added: "Thanks to everyone that's helped us. Normally it (the award) doesn't go to a band that's sold so many records, to put it bluntly, but we're pleased. They're good tunes, that's what we do and there aren't any tricks, people are trying to do too many tricks." The full nominations for this year were as follows: Arctic Monkeys - 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan - 'Ballad Of The Broken Seas' Editors - 'The Back Room' Guillemots - 'Through The Windowpane' Richard Hawley - 'Coles Corner' Hot Chip - 'The Warning' Muse - 'Black Holes & Revelations' Zoe Rahman - 'Melting Pot' Lou Rhodes - 'Beloved One' Scritti Politti - 'White Bread Black Beer' Sway - 'This Is My Demo' Thom Yorke - 'The Eraser' Click Here To View The Acceptance Speech, courtesy of the BBC. |
