Sheffield’s finest (well, discounting Richard Hawley), the Arctic Monkeys are one of the main acts at this year’s Oxegen festival. Whenever a band comes back to Oxegen, there always seems to be an album in tow. After finding out the lineup on Tuesday, yesterday we got news of a new album from Alex Turner and the rest of his gang, their fourth. It’s called Suck It and See, and will be released on Friday, 3rd of June. Hopefully the music inside is much better than the title, but you should never judge a book by its cover. Actually, does that apply to eBooks too? And digital music? Anyhow, I rant. The first single came out last week, and is called ‘Brick By Brick’. Have a listen below. ‘The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala’ sounds like it could be interesting, by the way…
