Alex Turner - Submarine Trailer


Alexander David Turner (born 6 January 1986) is an English musician, best known as the lead vocalist, guitarist and main songwriter of the English rock band Arctic Monkeys. He has also recorded with a side-project called The Last Shadow Puppets and as a solo artist.
Alex Turner is the only child of Penny and David Turner, who taught German and music respectively at Sheffield secondary schools. He was raised in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield.
He attended Stocksbridge High School in Sheffield (1997–2002) and was later remembered by his English teacher, Steve Baker, as "someone unconventional, a little bit different, with a brightness and a cleverness that would serve him well. He had a very original sense of humour. Alex was never particularly vocal, but you could sense when some pieces of poetry moved him. One day, I read out a John Cooper Clarke poem, 'I Wanna Be Yours'. I thought I'd risk doing it in John Cooper Clarke's drawling style. Some years later, Alex interviewed John Cooper Clarke for Mojo, and he said he'd sat there in class that day, thinking: "Wow!" It means a hell of a lot to think you might have helped someone by passing on a love of language.
