listened through about 3 times now, theres about 3/4 songs that stick in your head straight away, but i guess the rest will eventually!
Heady Tale could be a great for the festivals, Lupe Brown and Babydoll are lovely!

Apr 2008

Following on the back of their million selling debut 'Costello Music', The Fratellis, are wasting no time dropping their explosive comeback album 'Here We Stand'.

The album includes current single, the storming 'Mistress Mabel', already Zane Lowe's single of the week and Jo Whiley's pet sound. Other album highlights include The Who Inspired 'A Heady Tale' a completely schizophrenic opus, recalling the theatrical urgency of 'Pinball Wizard'. The glam rock ballroom waltz of 'Acid Jazz Singer', the thunderous assault of 'Tell Me A Lie' and 'Shameless', the epic merserybeat swagger of album opener 'My Friend John' and the heartfelt sonnet 'Baby doll'. The self produced album, is bigger, bolder but retains the Fratellis trademark stamp. It's a great evolution in the career of one of the most overlooked yet loved bands in Britain today.

"If Scotland had produced The Who, we would have been called The Fratellis" - Roger Daltrey, April 2008

'Here We Stand' is the second album by Glaswegian band the Fratellis. Continuing where 2006's debut 'Costello Music' left off, the record is packed with anthemic sing-a-long indie but with a slight rock edge. Includes the single 'Mistress Mabel'.

Scottish trio the Fratellis (not to be confused with the evil gang in Steven Spielberg's GOONIES) seemed to emerge fully formed from the Babyshambles-inspired boho-chic scene that also spawned the Rakes and the Paddingtons. Their debut full-length, COSTELLO MUSIC, mixes the tried-and-true sounds of glam-rock, stripped-down acousticisms, and Class of '77 punk. In time-honoured punk fashion, the three band members all use the surname Fratelli.
