Arctic Monkeys beranggotakan Alex Turner (Vocal, Lead Guitar), Jamie Cook (Guitar), Nick O'Malley (Bass), dan Matt Helders (Drum). anggota band sebelumnya Andy Nicholson (Bass) dan Glyn Jones (Vocal).
Berawal dari Alex Turner yang diberi gitar oleh orang tua nya sebagai hadiah natal. Mulailah Alex belajar memainkan gitar, waktu itu dia belajar chord lagu-lagu Oasis yang memang terkenal saat itu. Bosan main gitar sendirian, dia mengajak teman SMA nya Andy Nicholson dan Matt Helders serta Jamie Cook tetangganya untuk membuat band. Saat pertama kali bermain bersama di studio, rupanya Andy sudah membawa guitar bass, Jamie sudah main gitar bersama Alex sebelumnya, jadi Matt terpaksa harus main drum. Sebelum Alex yang menjadi vocalis di band, mereka punya vocalis utama namanya Glyn Jones, tapi hanya bertahan sesaat, Glyn harus keluar dari band karena ingin melanjutkan kuliah.
