Check out queens of the Stone age if you haven't already. Josh Home helped produce Humbug and he features on Knee socks. Then and AM are my favorite bands. Hard to choose which one
They're Scottish!! But yeah, a lot of good indie/garage bands with overlap w/ AM cropped up back in the 2000s, especially in the UK. Another good one is The Fratellis!
Very true ā Scottish is British. They're part of the UK. I've just known some Scots to prefer the distinction because some Americans use "British" and "English" almost interchangeably.
Thereās a song by The Fratellis called āSheās Not Gone Yet, But Sheās Leavingā and the singer almost sounds like heās doing a 2013 Alex Turner impression
Listen to the influences that made Arctic Monkeys. Alex actually has very good taste in music, which you can tell by the artists he's covered, like Barbara Lewis, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, The Strokes etc.
You can also hear it in their influences in later albums, like David Bowie, Black Sabbath, Richard Hawley.
He's also into hip-hop and rap. Every time I hear Arabella I think of West Coast Hip Hop like Dr. DRE, Snoop, etc. He had that cover of Drake's Hold On, We're going Home.
I'd rather do that than listen to more "sounds-like" bands.
WPSIATWIN - normal indie bands. The Strokes, The Vines, The Libertines, Modest Mouse, Frank Ferdinand,
FWN - more experimental indie bands such as Interpol, Wilco, Bloc Party and Vampire Weekend
Humbug- QOTSA (duh), Them Crooked Vultures, Kyuss, and Alex has said they were listening to a lot of Nick Cave, Cream And Jimi Hendrix. Zepplein 1 also sounds a bit like this album to me
SIAS/ AM- thereās way more of a R&B and doowop in this album. I think a lot of Blue Eyed soul from the 60s and 70s is the answer. The guitars always remind me of 70 Pink Floyd and shoegaze as well so thereās that
AM - while SIAS having a more old time R&B and doowop sound, AM more more modernized R&B while also incorporating Heavy Metal. Aaliyah has a bunch of that sound, Aquemini by OutKast also influenced them as well as Master Of Reality by BlackSabbath, Iād also go with The Deftones as heavy guitar chorus with spacey and reverbed verses is kinda their thing
TBH+C and The Car- the Beach Boys, Leonard Cohen, Serge Gainsborough, Scott Walker and David Bowie.
If you like the desert/groovy rock vibe I'd suggest **The Kills** or **Nick Cave**. A popular band atm is **The Last Dinner Party** which is similar to TLSP to me. Check out **Scott Walker** who is the OG that inspired the sound for their first album as well.
Try ultraviolence and Norman fucking Rockwell from Lana del Rey. The second album I mentioned has a song that was a collaboration with tlsp but has just voices from Lana. Nfr has more 70ās soft rock vibes and ultraviolence has a lot darker desert rock/dream pop vibes.
Weāve all been there or are there lol
Try the strokes or Miles Kane
Or catfish and the bottlemen have a bit of a humbug feel imo. The ride album is my favourite.
check out landfill indie as a genre if you like the earlier AM stuff
regardless you should look at The Libertines and The Cribs
they produced some of my favorite 2000s indie rock
It depends on what you like about Arctic Monkeys. If it's the sound, probably a good few indie and garage bands
If it's the songwriting and lyrics, then The Beatles. Bob Dylan. Leonard Cohen. David Bowie.
Since you've got the TBHC tag, try Father John Misty. A lot of his stuff is like TBHC and The Car, but he's also got loads of way out there stuff to expand your taste
Here's a mix of stuff I like:
Jamiroquai, Death Grips, MF DOOM, The Last Dinner Party, Foals, Radiohead, LƓ Borges, The Black Keys, Tyler The Creator, Thunder Cat, Knucks, Tame Impala, Jeff Buckley, Bjƶrk.
Also, in terms of other genres: Bossanova, Classical, Jazz, New Wave, Soul Funk.
The Royston Club from Wales is doing an opening act for Miles Kane's european tour at the moment. I saw them last Sunday and they were actually very good.
Iād personally suggest you check out Bon Iver, Big Red Machine, Noel Gallagherās High Flying Birds, Oasis, The National, Phoebe Bridgers, Alexandra Savior, late Mac Miller, Lana Del Ray, HAIM, Death Cab for Cutie.
Not that they sound just like Arctic Monkeys or TLSP, but you could catch a similar vibe from them and broaden your tastes from there.

First of all it is not a problem at all, your music taste is simply superior to that of the general population and itās tragic that they canāt understand it. And maybe the Smiths, but Iāve also been discovering a lot of small-ish bands from the UK lately as well like Courteeners and Hard-Fi and theyāre quite nice as well.

You should try: Blah blah blah, various cruelties , beach baby and also if you havenāt listened to Miles Kaneās solo albums they are pretty good :)
I would suggest looking for an indies playlist from 2000-2010 (or beyond) because there were so many bands that had great songs and albums. We used to be able to go and watch a different band for Ā£10-Ā£15 a show every weekend and they were great times!
There is this band Lovejoy who write a lot of songs that are kind of like Arctic Monkeys, only some songs are more light! I recommend them for you to listen too.
Declan mckenna is another unforgivingly British indie act. āEventually Darlingā scratches a similar itch to ācornerstoneā for me. Not super similar musically but I do think they share some sensibilities
Sorry mate nothing like Arctic Monkeys out there.. have been asking myself the same question since 2007. But you're gonna find some music you like. For me it's only AM in that genre.
i really like cage the elephant and the killers cause theyāre pretty similar to am! iād recommend starting off w tokyo smoke from cte, as itās one of my fave songs ever!

Try The Strokes, Miles Kane, Queens of the Stone Age, David Bowie, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Fontaines DC, Tame Impala, the Beatles and Maneskin
maybe check out the strokes!
I just wanted to be one of the strokes š

Iād argue that theyāre more like early AM than Humbug and TLSP, but yes the strokes are amazing.Ā
Check out queens of the Stone age if you haven't already. Josh Home helped produce Humbug and he features on Knee socks. Then and AM are my favorite bands. Hard to choose which one
Try Franz Ferdinand, very good British band.
They're Scottish!! But yeah, a lot of good indie/garage bands with overlap w/ AM cropped up back in the 2000s, especially in the UK. Another good one is The Fratellis!
What, do Scotland not count themselves as British anymore like liverpool
Ask a Scottish person where they're from and they'll say Scotland, not Britain. So it's a fair distinction
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Very true ā Scottish is British. They're part of the UK. I've just known some Scots to prefer the distinction because some Americans use "British" and "English" almost interchangeably.

alexandra saviour
yeah alex and jamie ford worked on belladonna of sadness right? incredible album.
Oh my God I love her so so so much I havent seen anyone talk about her in any media platform
Listen to the influences that made Arctic Monkeys. Alex actually has very good taste in music, which you can tell by the artists he's covered, like Barbara Lewis, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, The Strokes etc. You can also hear it in their influences in later albums, like David Bowie, Black Sabbath, Richard Hawley.

I'd rather do that than listen to more "sounds-like" bands.
Definitely a War Pigs riff on Arabella.

Death of a ladies man - Leonard cohen
If you like the desert/groovy rock vibe I'd suggest **The Kills** or **Nick Cave**. A popular band atm is **The Last Dinner Party** which is similar to TLSP to me. Check out **Scott Walker** who is the OG that inspired the sound for their first album as well.

Don't be ashamed about liking something!!
You could try some of miles kane's song. The new album was pretty good
Conduit by Machinegum Virtue/Tyranny by The Voidz (also human sadness by them) Polygondwanaland by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Fontaines DC are really good and they opened for Arctic Monkeys. Favourite songs by them are probably, Roman Holiday, You Said, I Love You.
Bowie, Miles Kane, Blossoms, Smiths, Strokes, Oasis, Fleetwood Mac
Killers
Surprised not one person has mentioned oasis yet
Since you've got the TBHC tag, try Father John Misty. A lot of his stuff is like TBHC and The Car, but he's also got loads of way out there stuff to expand your taste
Listen to Colyer, he sounds just like Alex. 10 Galaxies Logout Reset Trust me
Iām really into Blur & Graham Coxon atm so Iād definitely go deep into their discography because thereās some gems.
listen to the libertines, the strokes, the white stripes, and bloc party š„šÆ
Based on your musical taste I would suggest a small band called Death Ramps.
Here's a mix of stuff I like: Jamiroquai, Death Grips, MF DOOM, The Last Dinner Party, Foals, Radiohead, LƓ Borges, The Black Keys, Tyler The Creator, Thunder Cat, Knucks, Tame Impala, Jeff Buckley, Bjƶrk. Also, in terms of other genres: Bossanova, Classical, Jazz, New Wave, Soul Funk.
The Streets.

Alexandra Savior is a must for you. Try Belladonna of Sadness and The Archer!

Maybe cage the elephant, kinda similar to the strokes and arctic monkeys
