Arctic Monkeys

Hailing from England, the Arctic Monkeys come to Coachella with heavy rock riffs, and a high energy sound that is sure to get you up and going. Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Nick O'Malley, and Matt Helders make up the group. They have released four studio albums to date, and are regarded as one of the major bands responsible for the post-punk revival in the UK. This is apparent by listening to their music. Their style sounds like a new-age punk rock, with simple rhythms, but an indie vibe to it. The Arctic Monkeys will be playing on Friday. You can follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Pulp

Formed in 1978, Pulp is an alternative rock group hailing from Britain. Their alternative rock, post-punk, and Britpop sound took a while to catch on at first, but then the 1990s came and brought along success and recognition for the band. They continued to release albums and hits until 2002, then decided to take an extended hiatus. When Pulp left the scene they had sold more than 10 million records, and left fans heartbroken around the globe. But in 2010 they announced that Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Mark Webber, Steve Mackey, Nick Banks, and Russel Senior would be getting back together in 2011 and play an assortment of festivals. Lucky we are once more to be able to see the band performing at Coachella this year, where they will play on Friday, April 13th and 20th. Their songs are full of spunk to keep your body moving and your energy flowing, and their look is one that can't be beat. Hope you're all excited, because Pulp is going to put on one hell of a show!
