Arctic Monkeys wasted no time in recording new material and released

Arctic Monkeys wasted no time in recording new material and released Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? , a five-track EP on 24 April 2006. Due to its length, the EP was ineligible to chart as a UK single or album. Furthermore, the record’s graphic language has resulted in significantly less radio airplay than previous records, although this was not a reported concern according to an insider – “since they made their name on the Internet… they don’t care if they don’t get radio play”. The release of the EP Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? Just three months after their record-breaking debut album has been criticised by some, who have seen it as “money-grabbing” and “cashing in on their success”. The band countered that it regularly releases new music not to make money, but to avoid the “boredom” of “spending three years touring on one album”.
