Arctic Monkeys is an indie/rock band that was formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK. The band consists of Alex Turner on guitar and vocals, Jamie Cook on guitar, Nick O'Malley on bass, and Matt Helders on drums. They have gained a strong following with their unique sound and captivating lyrics. Although they started as a four-piece band, Andy Nicholson was also a former member who played bass.
With their distinctive blend of indie rock and post-punk revival influences, Arctic Monkeys quickly rose to fame after the release of their debut album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" in 2006. The album became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history at the time.
Since then, Arctic Monkeys have continued to impress fans and critics alike with their innovative musical style and thought-provoking lyrics. Their discography includes hit albums such as "Favourite Worst Nightmare," "AM," and "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino." With each release, they push boundaries and redefine what it means to be an indie/rock band.

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

All proceeds from the album will go to War Child to help fill the £2 million deficit they are facing in 2021 caused by the devastating impact of Covid-19 on their fundraising. These funds are urgently needed to support those who are worst hit by the virus. 

“On June 7, 2018 we played a very special show at London’s Royal Albert Hall. All the proceeds from that memorable night were donated to War Child in support of the vital work they do protecting, educating, and rehabilitating children who have experienced the trauma of conflict and the horror of war. The situation that was bad in 2018 is now desperate and those children and their families need our help more than ever. To enable War Child to reduce their funding deficit and continue their valuable work, we are happy to be able to release a live album, recorded that evening at The Royal Albert Hall. All proceeds will go direct to the charity. We thank all our fans in advance for their support of this release and in turn for their support of War Child” - Arctic Monkeys. 

Recorded at the start of the band’s Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino tour, Arctic Monkeys - Live At The Royal Albert Hall, features 20 of the band’s finest moments to date.
