THE FRATELLIS - HERE WE STAND. DAY 8

THE FRATELLIS - HERE WE STAND
This was a Christmas present from my Dad two years ago. I don’t think I ever listened to it. I have the Fratellis first album - Costello Music - and I skipped tracks just to listen to ‘Chelsea Dagger’ 


At first listen I detect a strong Arctic Monkey’s likeness. British music is similar in a good way. When you’re Australian a familiarity with the mother country can’t be denied...in pretty much the same way I prefer the BBC to US TV, I like British music. 
In my view ‘The Fratellis’ solidified the head start their Bristishness gave them by naming themselves after the bad guys in my favourite movie - The Goonies. 
Listening to this album...wow..it either really sounds like the ‘Arctic Monkey's’...or for the past few years I’ve been hearing ‘The Fratellis’ on the radio and mistaking them for the ‘Arctic Monkeys’
Either way, it’s a shame I never listened to this till now..it’s pretty good cleaning the house music.
