The Fratellis — Edgy In Brixton

By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) November 21, 2008 1:02 pm
On the stage at Brixton Academy, the three Fratellis look like specks in front of the teeming audience. The Scottish rockers don't waste any amount of crowd power, blasting through their set of noveau-Clash pop-punk and reverent guitar rock at warp speed. Generous extras include six full videos, band members answering fan questions and a...

VFest Toronto Day One

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) September 8, 2008 4:46 pm
There are a few steadfast indications that it's the end of summer in Toronto: university kids are running rampant downtown, the streets are abuzz with film nerds for the Toronto International Film Festival and the Virgin Festival invades Toronto Island for two days. After a horrendous ferry ride over (media had access to a VIP ferry, but it was...

The Fratellis — Here We Stand

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) June 10, 2008 3:53 pm
This Glasgow, Scotland trio's Costello Music debut earned a 2007 Brit Award for best British breakthrough act and, even more impressively, was my favourite album last year. This self-produced follow-up lacks the end-to-end insanely catchy hooks of its predecessor, but you'll still be hard-pressed to find better pop-rock albums this year. Lead...

The Fratellis' Here We Stand

In Memory Of... The Fratellis

By Jason MacNeil (CHARTattack) April 22, 2010 2:17 pm
Rock 'n' roll has lost yet another band as Scottish pop rock trio The Fratellis announced Thursday (April 22) they are splitting up. According to two posts on the band's message board, both vocalist Jon Lawler and bassist Barry Wallace announced they had no plans to record or tour in the future and laid the band to rest. For some, the band's...

Fratellis Frontman Forms New Band

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) March 31, 2009 2:12 pm
Fratellis frontman Jon Fratelli has a new project called The Codeine Breakfast Club. Strangely enough, Fratelli (real name John Lawler) apparently doesn't perform in the band, but writes all of their songs. The U.K.'s The Sun tabloid describes the group's music as "light years from The Fratellis' thundering stadium rock." An unnamed...

The Fratellis Turn It Up

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) December 2, 2008 2:23 pm
You might not be instantly familiar with their name, but you've definitely heard The Fratellis' music. The Glasgow, Scotland trio caught their big break on this side of the pond in 2007 when "Flathead" from their Costello Music debut was used in an iPod commercial. "Chelsea Dagger" later popped up in countless television ads...

Although English and Scottish acts The Kooks, The Fratellis and Sons And Daughters have been added to the festival, the addition of hometown heroes Danko Jones, American bands Against Me!, Shudder To Think, Silversun Pickups and The Airborne Toxic Event...

The Fratellis Don't Have Time For Debauchery

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) April 12, 2007 5:00 pm
The Fratellis may have a name that Jarvis Cocker referred to as "sounding like a family-run firm of ice cream manufacturers," but the Scottish band are far from shilling frozen treats. Instead, they're riding a wave of fame brought on by the use of their jangly single "Flathead" in the newest iPod commercial. "I'm not...
