Arctic Monkeys
The Arctic Monkeys have defended their decision to release their new album, Suck It And See, with a blank cover, saying it will mean fans wont download the album illegally.
The band is trying to reduce piracy of their new album, but the new cover, which is an off white with just the name of the band and album, has been called lazy by fans.
They recently revealed that the cover is to try make people buy the physical product.
Drummer Matt Helders tells NME magazine, "It'll make sense if you buy the actual album, because there is summat (something) to look at inside it. That's why we did it, really. It'll look c**p on an iPod screen. We want people to buy the physical product. And we thought it looked good. It looks nice."
