Arctic Monkeys have paid tribute to their friends and upcoming support act Tame Impala, by covering their massive single 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards'. Check it out below. 

Frontman Alex Turner and drummer Matt Helders dropped into Australian radio station Triple J for their 'Like A Version' series of covers, where the duo fittingly gave a nod to the track by proving that they can say their bandmates' names backwards - which is impressive. 

Turner then kicked into a stripped back rendition of Tame Impala's breakthrough hit, robbing it of its psychedelic haze, but drenching it in the band's trademark soulful rock spirit and Yorkshire twang. It's very nice indeed.

Arctic Monkeys will headline Reading and Leeds festival this summer and play two huge gigs at London's Finsbury Park on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 May, 2014 - where the band will be supported by Tame Impala and others. Tickets to all shows are on sale now.
