Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?

Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?

Release Date : 24/04/06 (UK)

The second EP release by the Arctic Monkeys. The 5-track EP was released to satisfy the fans while touring the UK and the rest of the world. Although the lead track "The View From The Afternoon" was anticipated as the second single, it was released on this which was too big to qualify as a single and too small to class as an album. But then again, anticipation has a habit to set you up for disappointment.
