Music Video

Arctic Monkeys- Riot Van

Arctic Monkeys are an indie band from Sheffield. They formed in 2002 and have 4 members.. Alex Turner, Jamie Cook and Nick O'Malley. Their album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' was released in 2006 and became the fastest selling debut album in British history. Since then they have released 2 more albums.


Indie music videos tend to show the band/artist throughout the whole video- they tend to be the centre of attention. It generally starts off in a calm setting but changed when the beat sets in. It has some special effects (e.g. black and white) and usually shows close ups of the band/characters. Generally it has the band actually performing.
