Arctic Monkeys - Humbug

Since we last heard from these boys, they've grown up nicely and stopped cutting their hair, while keeping the fine company of one Josh Homme. Yup, the Queens Of The Stone Age frontman loves them Monkeys enough to have half-produced their third album, Humbug (the other half is produced by familiar face, James Ford). Surely some hard rock potential is bound to be fulfilled here. Just have a gander at their first single "Crying Lightning" and prep yourself for something along those lines.

Humbug hits the stores around 24 August.
