Arctic Monkeys: "English radio is terrible"
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver April 5th, 2007

Well, they might have a point.

Ahead of the release of their new single 'Brianstorm' - out April 16 and available to download now - Arctic Monkeys have told popular red-top rag The Sun that domestic radio is pretty rubbish.

Guitarist Jamie Cook commented: "English radio is terrible, and Radio 1 plays a lot of crap music. I realised that the other morning when I had the radio going."

Singer Alex Turner added that he hates "all those Pop Idol singers". Us too Alex, us too. He doesn't like Mark Ronson much, either.

Mr Ronson's thoughts on Arctic Monkey's Favourite Worst Nightmare, their new album out on April 23, are currently unavailable.
