text: anyone ever heard of the arctic monkeys? i absolutely love em, one of my mom's friends lent us "whatever people say i am, thats what im not" - its some of the best rock i've heard but i usually listen to old hip hop and funk and all that, and if you did do they sound at all like the strokes? i've never heard the strokes before yeah i have. i have that cd and its amazing.  actually at first i thought it was the strokes but they do sound like them a little bit.  they remind me of kings of leon. if u havent heard of them look them up they are awesome.
