Eight years ago I started listening to a young colloquial band from Sheffield, England. Eight years later, Arctic Monkeys have evolved perfectly into a slick sophisticated version of a band I have always adored and admired – not only for their ability to write jangly biting choons that ignite a kind of national pride and world-wide fist-pump, but also for their ability to grow and shift into generation-defining lads spitting tattoo-worthy lyrics and pure sex. Thanks to PINPOINT MUSIC, I had the opportunity to photograph Arctic Monkeys at their 3rd and last sold out night at The Wiltern, Los Angeles – a show that sparked frenzy and seduction, and we are all completely theirs for the taking.
