Arctic Monkeys are generally considered part of the indie rock scene,[4] alongside bands such as Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand.[5][6] Arctic Monkeys achieved their success through fan-made demo tapes and online file-sharing.[7] They were heralded as one of the first acts to come to the public attention via the Internet, with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed.[8]
