Sheffield, England (2004 – present)
Brianstorm and Fluorescent Adolescent hit the UK Top Five, with a sixth Teddy Picker going Top 20. Their debut single, I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, and the follow up When the Sun Goes Down, went straight to number one in the UK Top 40 Singles Chart. The band consists of lead vocalist/guitarist Alex Turner, lead guitarist/backing vocalist Jamie Cook, bassist Nick O’Malley (a replacement for original bassist Andy Nicholson who left in May 2006) and drummer/backing vocalist Matt Helders.
The band’s rise to 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. These demos rapidly spread among message boards and friends leading to a growing fan base for the band, and were collected on the unofficial Beneath the Boardwalk, which the band recognizes on their website. The band owe much of their success to viral buzz via the Internet, and have eschewed typical ‘commercial’ channels, including refusing to appear on the U K’s (now discontinued) Top Of The Pops music program, which was often seen as a gateway to success.

The fact that you guys keep changing pictures is what's pissing me off. Not the fact that they're group photos. Go mangle a dick.
