The all-star charity album includes 'Opening Night', the first Arctic Monkeys song in four years
The Sheffield indie veterans returned last week with new song 'Opening Night'
"We were in such a different kind of space"
The legendary album was released 20 years ago this week and is still the fastest-selling debut album by any band
The decision to make the collaborative charity album came from the severity of the crises in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine and Syria
"There’s always going to be talk about it like, ‘What does it mean for the band?’ We want it to just be for these people and for this," said the drummer of recording the one-off song for War Child's 'Help(2)' album
He also explained why that song stood the test of time in a way that others from the 2006 album didn’t
The band's first new song in four years was released earlier today (January 22)
A final serenade or the start of a new chapter? The Sheffield band’s contribution to War Child’s ‘Help(2)’ compilation answers no questions about what lies ahead – but it’s a solid new treat from the indie kings
Check out the Sheffield indie giants' first song in four years, along with the full charity album tracklist including Fontaines D.C., Depeche Mode, Wet Leg, The Last Dinner Party, Damon Albarn, Foals, Cameron Winter, Olivia Rodrigo and loads more
