I've never really been able to get into The Fratellis. It's all a bit 70's glam rock for me - Bay City Rollers without the tartan, Mud without the silly dances, Slade without the stack heeled silver boots, Sweet without the bad haircuts and T-Rex without Marc Bolan (although the singer's shaggy perm bears more than a passing resemblance...) I was half expecting Rod Stewart to make an appearance given the scottish flags attached to the cymbal stands on the unnecessarily tall drum riser...
Anyway, it is what it is and The Fratellis do it well... The songs from the first album, particularly 'Chelsea Dagger', sounded strong but from what I've heard of the second cd it's just 'Costello Music' Part II...
