Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys was the debut EP by Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys. Released on 30 May 2005, it featured a re-recording of fan favourite "Fake Tales of San Francisco" and new song and b-side "From the Ritz to the Rubble". It was a limited release by Bang Bang Recordings - a label was created by the band for the sole purpose of releasing the EP. The name, Bang Bang, was mooted as a replacement band name, on the basis that Arctic Monkeys sounded "silly".
Only 1500 CDs and 2000 vinyl copies were made available, meaning the EP is now rare and increasingly sought after by fans of the band, with records exchanging hands on websites such as eBay for high prices. Both tracks were included on the band's debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (2006).
