Arctic Monkeys release secret single?

The Arctic Monkeys have released a 7" vinyl single under a different band name, say reports.

Domino Records, the Sheffield band's label, is selling the limited edition record on its website.

The record claims to be by a group called Death Ramps and features songs titled 'The Death Camps' and 'Nettles'.

Underneath a picture of the record there is a hint at the true identity of the band behind the single, with a message that alludes to the Arctic Monkeys hit 'A Certain Romance'.

The message says: "Unfortunately, we're not allowed to tell you the true identity of the Death Ramps but needless to say they're a band with A Certain Romance (wink, wink)."

Arctic Monkeys have been playing 'Nettles' in their setlists during 2007.

There are only 250 copies of the vinyl release.
