    If you like what you hear buy it on ITunes so we can get it in the top 20. Its 66th at the moment and only released this morning. Its been too long since a proper rock song made an impact on the charts.


    Loooovvee the video...but then I would love anything with that much of Alex's face in it. Alex Turner, original Bebo stunnah

    Their best song of the Suck It And See era IMO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,429 ✭✭✭Pierce_1991


    Absolute cracker of a tune. I feel this is a nice cross between Humbug and SIAS, belter of a tune


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,617 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    The song is absolute stone cold quality and I really think the video compliments it.

    It has to be said, the MOnkeys just keep getting better. If this is a taste of their new stuff, their next album is gonna be something to really look forward to!

    It's a monster tune. It's almost like they save some of their best stuff up to release away from the albums. Some of their b-sides are fantastic!

    Definitely, a lot of their best songs are B sides.

    I think this is a complete list.

    Turner said he wants the new album to have a grittier and harder sound, hope this theme will continue

    Up to 10 on the itunes chart!

    If You've found this it's probably too late is a great B Side, I always felt they should have had it as the first track on FWN.

    Only digital as of now but I reckon it'll be released on vinyl for record store day although that is only a guess.

    Is there a compilation of their B-sides released in any form?
    great band, get better and better

    They should release one (or two, since there are so many crackers!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,869 ✭✭✭thesultan


    Leave before the lights come out was an EP so there wasn't b-sides on it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,904 ✭✭✭Chavways


    Why has nobody been speaking about this?

    Skip to 7:10

    They are back in recording a new album during the summer.

    I don't like the idea of it being like DSDCIMYC but if its anything like R U Mine I think a lot of people will be happy.

    Yes. It's out there. Not in an official form..... but it's out there ;)

    I suppose if they're recording a new album in the summer it rules them out of coming back to Ireland on the Suck It and See tour.

    There was. Two covers, "Put Your Dukes Up John" and "Baby I'm Yours".

    I'm afraid so, We've never been a likeable place for them to visit it seems :D Wasted on a oxegen crowd too :D

    R U Mine is soooo good! Haven't stopped listening to it since it came out. They're new album is going to sound along the lines of that and You and I, so that's a good sign.

    In fairness, they talk a lot of shíte about their new albums before they come out. Humbug was going to be "all fast songs, no medium or slow tempo songs". Suck it and See was going to sound like the My Propeller B-sides.

    Yeah maybe that's true, but he also said he likes to write songs with full chords, rather than power/barre chords, and that's what he wanted on the 4th album...and that's pretty much how it did go.
