It seems the band is really getting into the swing of things these days. Arctic Monkeys are apparently nominated for seven awards at this year’s Shockwave New Musical Experts. The band’s front man, Alex Turner, is himself up for two additional awards. He had this to say about the Arctic Monkeys’ recent success: “It’s a good thing knowing we’re still up for these awards. Kasabian have said that there aren’t any other proper rock bands apart from us and them. I don’t necessarily agree completely but I know what they’re saying. I think we’re just co-existing very nicely.” It must be a reciprocal back-scratching thing between Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, but just wait until the award ceremonies start running short. Then we shall see who has the real punk attitude.
