EPISODE SUMMARY:
The UK is known for some of the greatest bands known to man. So producing the fastest selling debut album in British history is no small feat. But that's exactly what garage rock revivalists Arctic Monkeys managed to do with their 2006 release Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. They became an overnight sensation in Europe, and despite not being as big in America, they didn't go unnoticed by music connoisseur and comedian Dan Soder. A massive fan of the band and their driving guitar and lyrical styles, Dan has been listening to them since his days in radio, well before his comedy career took off, leading him to appear on HBO, Netflix and Comedy Central.
