Arctic Monkeys to Release EP in April? |
|
Sick of waiting for the next Arctic Monkeys release, even though the last was only in the end of January? Well according to Arctic Monkeys Jamie and Andy in this week's NME, the next release could be an EP containing all new songs!
From NME Magazine:
You've been in the studio today...(awards day)
Jamie: "We came straight from the studio. We're doing an EP for the next single, whenever it's gonna be. It's gonna be new 'uns."
Andy: "We're gonna finish the new songs, then we're gonna play 'em live and we're gonna stick 'em on a CD. It's probably gonna be an extended player. I'm not joking, five songs, and it's hopefully gonna be out in April. Fingers crossed."
The only previous EP the band have released is "Five Minutes With Arctic Monkeys" back in May 2005.

Arctic Monkeys on NME Cover...Again |
|
Arctic Monkeys are once again features on the cover of NME. This is the FOURTH time they have been the main feature on the magazine since October 2005.
But as long as they're in, we'll keep reading, right?
The cover isn't totally based on the lads, but does feature "King Monkey" himself, Ian Brown. The issue also contains a free 12 track CD containg tracks of winners from the 2006 NME Awards - though no Arctic Monkeys.

Arctic Monkeys on MTV2 |
|
UPDATE: The videos are available for download here.
Just a reminder to everyone that Arctic Monkeys will be appearing on TV tonight (Mar 1) as footage from the 2006 NME Awards Tour will be broadcast exclusively to MTV2.
The live performance is from the final date of the NME Tour which took place at London's Brixton Academy in February, along with fellow Tourmates We Are Scientists, Mystery Jets and Maximo Park. The show ended up being the one to remember from the NME Tour and luckily MTV recorded the performances, which included a nine-man rendition of "A Certain Romance" after members of Mystery Jets and We Are Scientists joined the Arctic Monkeys on stage.
The show will be on MTV2 tonight at 9pm and hosted by Zane Lowe. But don't worry if you can't make it as the show will be repeated this Friday (Mar 3) at 11pm. |

Joe Cole "wants" Arctic Monkeys World Cup Anthem |
|
Could England's official World Cup 2006 anthem be a one by the Sheffield foursome, Arctic Monkeys?
Probably not, but England and Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole would absolutely love it.
In an interview with MTV, Cole said:
“I’m listening to Richard Ashcroft and Arctic Monkeys at the moment,” said Cole.
“I think Arctic Monkeys are a fantastic new band. I’m playing in my car.”
MTV: "So they’re in your car Joe, but how’s about having the Arctics recording this summer’s England song for their World Cup campaign?"
Cole: “Wow, I don’t know, maybe! You never know. I’m sure whoever does it will do a great job.”
Now, MTV did admit this wasn't an exact request by the midfielder and wrote the following:
Now while we recognise that this isn’t strictly a wholehearted plea by Joe Cole; it’s enough to get a campaign going. Come on Monkey boys - do it; do it!
...Shut up MTV. |
