'The Car' Tour Reaction (Video Version)

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/06/09

It seems like we'd waited forever for the day to finally come round, but on Friday 2nd June we finally saw the band at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. In this special episode we build up to the gig, as well as offering you a taste of how our day went, with both audio and video clips, along with our post-show debrief and the subsequent dose of post-gig depression.

S2 E3: D Is For Dangerous

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/06/06

What does D stand for? Nope, it's not dickheads throwing stuff at the Horrors. This week it stands for dickheads discussing the third track from the band's second album. Nick and Dan are well into the swing of things now they've got a second series, and you're getting all the usual stuff including a breakdown of the music and lyrics, as well as discussing sexual shenanigans, the inevitable Jamie-written song and Nick O'Malley getting his feet under the table.

S2 E2: Teddy Picker

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/05/30

Another week, another episode, and this time it's an episode that's definitely in our Top 100 list. Mainly because we've not done a hundred episodes yet. Join Nick and Dan for a chat about the second track from 'Favourite Worst Nightmare', with all the stuff you've become acclimatised to, as well as another Duran Duran reference, the band's drinks of choice, and a video with a surprising director.

S2 E1: Brianstorm

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/05/23

We're back after a short break, and it's time to kick off Series 2 in the best way possible with the assault on the senses that is 'Brianstorm'. Nick and Dan are back with new improved sound quality but don't worry, it's still the same old show that you've come to expect and, in some cases, even tolerate. Plenty to talk about, including the sheer longevity of Jools Holland, a classic Helders performance and some brand new jingles. Achtung baby, get it in your ears

S1.5 E1: Leave Before The Lights Come On

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/04/26

New equipment, new series (ish), same old show (for the most part). After a break of a few weeks Nick and Dan are back with three episodes to bridge the gap between series, and what a track to do it with. This week it's the turn of a cult classic (©Nick) and there's much to discuss, including but not limited to standalone singles, an A-List video and a minor disagreement about the track.

S1 E28: The Proof That Love's Not Only Blind But Deaf

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/03/22

You'd think we'd be fully fed up of chatting all things AM wouldn't you? Well not on your nelly, because we've decided to take this show on the road for a final week with an extra-special wrap-up episode. To finish the series, Nick and Dan discussed their memories of the album, as well as ranking the tracks and B-Sides. You'd think that'd be all, but we also arranged the tracks into the order we'd most like to hear them in a hypothetical anniversary live show. Cheers so

S1 E27: Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/03/15

We did it! 27 episodes deep and we've polished off the first AM era. Join Nick and Dan for a chat about the final track from the EP of the same name. There's hip hop drums, the return of snarky Alex, a Noel Gallagher Mandela effect, and Michael Barrymore brings on the backlash. Be sure to join us next week for the final episode of the series, as we wrap up a life-changing, generation-defining era with loads of bonus clips, your correspondence, as well as our ranking of every track from the

S1 E26: No Buses

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/03/08

No Buses? No bother, because have we got the episode for you. Join Nick and Dan for their look back at the penultimate track of the first AM era, and it's the turn of a lovelorn track with George Formby vibes. Yes, it's not quite an episode in twenty-four but it's close enough, and it's all here - Japanese fans, a shameless ripoff/homage and that classic Turneresque switching of perspectives.

S1 E25: Despair In The Departure Lounge

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/03/01

We've hit the halfway point of the EP, and it's the turn of the wistful Derek Trotter-referencing tune 'Despair In The Departure Lounge' to get the DBTH treatment. Join Nick and Dan for a discussion about this track, including vulnerability, unexpected keys, Ukulele Hunt and a sitcom-themed bonus round.

S1 E24: Cigarette Smoker Fiona

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/02/22

We've finally entered the last phase of the first Arctic Monkeys era, as we move onto the tracks from the 'Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys' EP release. This week Nick and Dan discuss 'Cigarette Smoker Fiona' via the demo of (almost) the same name, theoretical weddings, the Allen family and a couple of interesting theories.

S1 E23: 7

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/02/15

We've recorded two episodes back-to-back, Nick's gone a bit Norfolk Nights and Dan's making notes. In the process of discussing the final B-Side, the lads touch on the right and wrong ways to give your number out, how not to come over like something from a film, and the difference between American and British alcoholics.

S1 E22: Stickin To The Floor

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/02/15

In the first of two episodes dropping simultaneously, Nick and Dan cover another of the B-Sides to the band's second single. Despite an ominously short review section, we discuss count-ins being a young band's game, punk influences, the band's meteoric rise and misheard lyrics. Not only that, there's also time for our most potty-mouthed bonus round yet. Filth.

S1 E21: Settle For A Draw

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/02/08

Another week has passed and we're back with another B-Side, and this week it's the turn of 'Settle For A Draw', the more mature sister of 'Mardy Bum'. Join Nick and Dan as they amend an understandable error from last week. Not only that, there's more from the man, the myth, the legend - Istabo, and the lads have both somehow managed, for some years to confuse a female soul icon with a male glam rock icon. There's also plenty of discussion about the song as well, obviously, but you knew that

S1 E20: Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/02/01

It’s time for the second B-side from the Dancefloor single, and our first instrumental. You wouldn’t think there’d be a lot to chat about, but Nick and Dan managed it. Tune in for chat about other famous instrumentals, a surprising nomination and a review that left Nick barely able to carry on.

S1 E19: Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/01/25

That's the first album finished, and the end of an era is well and truly in sight as we move onto the first of two B-sides from the band's debut single. This week Nick and Dan talk boy racers, school uniforms and Burberry hats as well as outlining the difference between insecurity and vanity.

S1 E18: A Certain Romance

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/01/18

Well, we've reached the end of the road that is the band's seminal debut album. Fittingly for such a classic, it's a bumper episode this week on account of the fact Nick and Dan just couldn't shut the fuck up about this one. All bases are covered, including Alex getting annoyed by wires, *that* SNL performance, where it fits in the pantheon of Monkeys tracks, and why it's the musical equivalent of Breaking Bad.

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/01/11

Well, we're getting very close to the end of WPSIATWIN, as Nick and Dan dissect the album's ferocious penultimate track. Join us as we discuss *that* bassline, how this album heralded the death of indie rock as we knew it, and find out once and for all the similarity between totalitarianism and fondue.
