When Arctic Monkeys first stepped out in the indie-rock realm with Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, its music felt like a precursor to the quirky guitar jams that fans would later learn to love from groups like Vampire Weekend. Arctic Monkeys could’ve been a fad band, but along the way they came across Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, and were never the same; he helped it evolve into the grimy and greasy group it is today.
