Arctic MonkeysThe Arctic Monkeys will not now return to the studio until 2013, according to Alex Turner.

The frontman told The Sun that "I don't really write on the road anymore".

He said: "We come up with a few ideas on soundchecks and that but I have written too many terrible lyrics touring around. As yet there is no plan to return to the studio next year, we're keeping our heads down."

"It's hard to do the old chip shop rock'n'roll. After you've done it once, you don't sort of hang around that many chippies any more. I think it's natural, I couldn't ever write about my surroundings in the same way as I did back then."
