The NME Guide
Classic photo shoots from the NME archive
Today we're taking a nostalgic look back at the first time certain bands appeared in the pages of NME. Here's Arctic Monkeys, photographed in their Sheffield rehearsal space for their first appearance in the mag, a new band feature emblazoned with the headline: 'The most talked about new band in Britain.' This was early 2005. By October they'd had a Number One single.
