Arctic Monkeys’ AM (Domino) gave the band their 5th consecutive UK #1 album and, at #6, their highest ever Billboard Chart placing upon release last month. Helped by the huge radio support of single “Do I Wanna Know?” (PRESS HERE<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpOSxM0rNPM> to watch the video) the band have been selling out venues coast-to-coast on their current North American tour. Today they announce an additional five shows for December. Full list of tour dates below.

“…an LP that’s sounding more and more like a game changer.” – Rolling Stone
“The dance-floor-ready post-punk of their early days has matured into a meatier, more assured sound — the kind that attracted Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, who's worked with them since 2008. He helps out here, but he doesn't have to; led by Alex Turner's cocksure vocals, AM mixes Velvet Underground melodies, Black Sabbath riffs, and playful grooves, and has fun doing it.” A-   Entertainment Weekly

“Arctic Monkeys’ fifth record is absolutely and unarguably the most incredible album of their career. It might also be the greatest record of the last decade.” – NME (10 out of 10)

“It's genuinely affecting.” – Pitchfork
