Originally established in 2002 The band currently consists of Alex Turner on lead vocals and guitar, Jamie Cook on rhythm guitar, Matt Helders on drums and backing vocals and Nick O’Malley on bass guitar, a position formerly held by Andy Nicholson.

The band’s success started in late 2004;early 2005 when demo songs which had been handed out in CD form at gigs found their way onto the internet. Their debut single, I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor, and When The Sun Goes Down, went straight to number one in the UK Top 40 Singles Chart.
On 19th June 2006 the band officially announced that founding member Andy Nicholson had left the band. Nick O’Malley was initially brought in, and played the band’s remaining summer commitments. He was then announced as Nicholson’s permanent replacement.
