''Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?'' is the second EP by Sheffield Indie Rock Band Arctic Monkeys , first released 24 April 2006 (see 2006 In British Music ). The EP features "The View from the Afternoon", the opening track of their debut Album '' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not '', along with four new songs.

"The View from the Afternoon" was originally expected to be the band's third single following UK Number Ones "" collection of demo CDs.

"Despair in the Departure Lounge" was premièred at a gig in the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco , although it was played by Alex Turner alone due to Andy Nicholson blowing his Bass Amp .

Although the language content of the EP resulted in less Radio airplay than their earlier releases, the nature of the band's rise to fame and its lack of reliance on radio meant that this was not a concern for the band. 2

As with previous releases, the contents of the EP leaked onto the internet and Peer-to-peer file-sharing programmes several weeks before its release.
