About this episode
The Big Mates discuss bouncers, poets, rappers, and Five Minutes With Arctic Monkeys . Adam, Steve, and Lucas properly begin their deep-dive exploration of Arctic Monkeys by talking about the people that make up the band, the various musical influences they brought with them, the city they grew up in, and the formation of the band itself. They discuss the early days of the band, their gigs and demo recordings, their songs being shared on the internet, and the first official Arctic Monkeys release, Five Minutes With Arctic Monkeys , featuring analysis of both tracks! It's and exciting first step in this career-long deep-dive from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between! What’s the difference between guitar and drums? Would you go back to a club to get your coat? Will we become one of the world’s biggest rock bands in the next 4 years? Find out on this episode of What Is Music? Our next episode is out next week, Monday June 9th, and we'll begin the deep-dive into the band's debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.
