http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.13660702&rws=%2Fthe-fratellis%2Fdiscography.rssThank goodness for the Fratellis. Just as the bright! new! shiny! light that seemed to emanate from Franz Ferdinand started to fade a bit, their fellow Glaswegians (that's people from Glasgow -- who knew?) raced across the Atlantic to save us from a future without brilliant Scottish indie rock. And brilliant they are, with their soused, saucy, and, dare we say, lovable country-punk garage rock.<p> <p> Adopting that classic coy rocker ploy, the boys in the band have all taken the same last name, but Jon (vocals/guitar), Mince (drums/vocals), and Barry Fratelli (bass) are not, of course, brothers. In fact, one pervasive rumor is that they named themselves after the dirty, rotten bad guy family from <i>The Goonies</i>, but the band swears that Fratelli is merely Barry's original last name. Along with this charming lore, a self-titled EP and a handful of hot singles carried the Fratellis from their inception in 2005 to their burgeoning fame of 2007, when their full-length debut, <i>Costello Music</i>, wa came out. Oh, and an iPod commercial featuring their tune "Flathead" probably helped, too. - Rachel DevittGarage Rock Revivalen720Mon, 28 Dec 2009 01:14:58 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.13660702&rws=%2Fthe-fratellis%2Fdiscography.rss Thank goodness for the Fratellis.
