Bet you look good on the dance floor

For ages now, people have told me that I should listen to the Arctic Monkeys because "you'll like them." And usually I'm then straight away on youtube to listen to different songs because I love discovering new bands, but for some reason, I just never did look them up.

It was only a couple of weeks ago at work, when an album was playing which I thought was so good! It was upbeat, playful and the tunes were all really catchy, and I was like "who is this?" and my co-worker was like "it's the Arctic Monkeys first album." And I just couldn't believe that it took me that long (years and years) to finally listen to them.

'Beneath the Boardwalk' is their first album which is post-punk revival, and as I am a fan of punk, I loved it so much and as soon as I got home, I got the album and danced around the house and the other day I shared these songs with my dad, who also enjoyed them. I have to admit that I haven't listened to any of their later albums, but that is because I'm loving this album so much that I don't really want to hear any of their other stuff at the moment. I know that doesn't make sense and is probably a really silly approach, but one day, I promise I'll listen to the other albums too.

'Bet you look good on the dance floor' I have decided to be the song of the day, because the entire album is filled with great dancing songs, so the title in itself is just so fitting. One of the other aspects of the songs that I really love is that you can hear their accent (I have a weakness for British accents).
