Arctic Monkeys Snub The Brit Awards... Again

Arctic Monkeys have snubbed the Brit awards, instead choosing to film the video for their new single.

The Sheffield lads are up for the Best Album and Best Group awards at the Valentine’s Day ceremony, but they say they are going to focus on finishing the promo for ‘Brainstorm.’

Drummer Matt Helders told BBC6music: "We're filming the video that day, so we're not going to be anywhere near it. We haven't snubbed it, we're just busy boys getting ready to go on tour again."

Speaking about their new album ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, Helders went on to explain that the band found the recording process easy and they weren’t blighted by ‘difficult second album’ syndrome.

He continued: "It never really seemed like we were having to make ourselves sit down and write anything. I don't think it was much of a challenge to be honest."

‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’ is released on April 23 and will be preceded by ‘Brainstorm’ a week earlier.
