Arctic Monkeys Hype
The Arctic Monkeys hype continues to build and today as I was going through various sites I came across three articles on the band. Haven't seen this much hype around a band since the last band that was hyped up. In any case it should be interesting to see how this ends up. Looks like they'll huge though...
BBC: Arctic Monkeys business - Band play up to million pound hype ("Think of the previous bands who have been massively hyped and enthused about ... The Strokes and Oasis - they were never this big this quick.")
Gigwise: Arctic Monkeys Sign £1million Publishing Deal ("The news compound predictions that the Arctic Monkeys are set to be the biggest British band since Oasis.")
NME: Arctic Monkeys play biggest gig yet ("The gig which was twice upgraded from smaller venues in the capital...)
Update: Prefix interviews Arctic Monkeys Part 1, Part 2

Currently listening to the stream on scenestars and I have to say that I am confused by the Franz/Bloc Party comparisons... definitely a lot more like the libertines, yay.
