10. MILBURN

When ARCTIC MONKEYS went on their first European headliner tour they invited their buddies from MILBURN over to join them. Well, Sheffield lads stick together it seemed. It was also quite fitting since the bands sounds matched very well back in 2006. After two mediocre records MILBURN parted ways in 2008 while the ARCTIC MONKEYS became a global rock sensation. Former guitarist Tom Rowley even toured with Alex Turner and his boys. Well, as said before – lads stick together.

Arctic Monkeys aren’t interested in saving rock and roll (although they somehow do)

Alex Turner and his band mates recently ended their four-year long hiatus with a pretty special sounding album. Despite the endeavours in easy listening territory their live show is still a pretty solid rock and roll affair. But that might just be a snapshot after all.
