Excerpt:
Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner has revealed that there is a strong influence from The Smiths on the band's latest album 'Suck It And See'.
Speaking to BBC 6Music, Turner said that though he wasn't consciously attempting to channel The Smiths while writing 'Suck It And See', he didn't mind if people compared his band's new record to the Manchester legends.
He said: "I love The Smiths. I don't know if I was listening to a great deal of it while I was writing this last record but I don't mind that coming through in our songs at all. The other influence we have from Manchester, I suppose, is John Cooper- Clarke and whilst I think his influence is really prevalent in that first record it also still hangs around in some of the couplets on this new Monkeys album as well."
