STREAM: Arctic Monkeys – Electricity (B-Side)

UK rockers Arctic Monkeys are currently in the middle of a whirlwind of shows and promotion this year and it has not stopped for even a brief moment.

The group recently put out a b-side for Record Store Day, called “Electricity,” and channels a bluesy/rock vibe. Reminds us of a Queens Of The Stone Age riff. It is, without a doubt, a quality track from AM.

Listen to Arctic Monkeys’ b-side “Electricity” and view the band’s current touring dates, with The Black Keys, by heading through the link. Have you gone to see this line-up yet?
