As a result, Balfe never saw music as a risky career. In fact, despite being turned down by every conservatory he applied to, he continued to strive for his dream, landing him at Hans Zimmer's Remote-Control Company. Since th

When Arctic Monkeys formed in 2002, they had no idea where their musical journey would take them. Since then, they have released 6 studio albums, ranging from 'Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not', with its punk and garage rock influences to the more indie-pop-sounding, 'Suck It and See'.
