This absolute Arctic Monkeys takeover today is very good isn’t it. Now there’s a band who knows how to kick off an album campaign. TOTAL INBOX DOMINATION.

All that we need now is a new album from the band and I’d say 2018 is set. There is truly nothing better than a comeback from a band you missed so dearly.
