''Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys'' is the debut EP by Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys . Released on 30 May 2005 , it featured a re-recording of fan favourite " Fake Tales Of San Francisco " and new song and B-side "From the Ritz to the Rubble". It was a limited release by Bang Bang Recordings - a label was created by the band for the sole purpose of releasing the EP. The name, Bang Bang, was mooted as a replacement band name, on the basis that the name Arctic Monkeys sounded "silly". Its name is somewhat ironic, as the EP lasts for six minutes.

Only 1000 CDs and 500 Vinyl copies were made available, meaning the EP is now rare and increasingly sought after by fans of the band, with records exchanging hands on websites such as EBay for high prices. The album in 7" vinyl form is sold for an average price of about $125 US dollars. Both tracks were re-recorded and included on the band's debut album, '' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not '' (2006).
