The band began to grow in popularity across the north of England, receiving attention from BBC Radio and the British tabloid press. A local amateur photographer, Mark Bull, filmed the band’s performances and made the music video ” Fake Tales of San Francisco “, releasing it on his website, alongside the contents of Beneath the Boardwalk – a collection of the band’s songs which he named after a local music venue. When asked about the popularity of the band’s MySpace site, the band said that they were unaware of what it was and that the site had originally been created by their fans. In May 2005, Arctic Monkeys released the EP Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys on their own ‘Bang Bang’ label, featuring the songs “Fake Tales of San Francisco” and “From the Ritz to the Rubble”. This release was limited to 500 CDs and 1,000 7″ records, but was also available to download from the iTunes Music Store . Soon after, the band played at the Carling Stage of the Reading and Leeds Festivals , reserved for less known or unsigned bands.
