ARCTIC MONKEYS ALMOST SPLIT IN EARLY DAYS

British rockers ARCTIC MONKEYS were so frustrated with their lack of progress before they found fame, they almost split up.

The I BET YOU LOOK GOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR band have since landed the fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history with 2005's WHATEVER PEOPLE SAY I AM, THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT.

But things weren't always so good.

Frontman ALEX TURNER tells British magazine New!, "When we first started the band, we almost stopped doing it because we were getting so fed up.

"There was some drama and we were like, 'We can't be a*sed any more.'"
