Anyone here like the Scottish band The Fratellis?..I think that most new rock is crap (and it is, especially American rock) but these guys are poppy and have a style that is very slick...I was wonderin' if I have any fellow Fratelli here at Boyah...
No, I've never heard of that site. Yes, you are very cool for knowing about them. Yes, I will join as soon as possible. No, I'm not kidding. God, shut up already!

The Fratellis are pure gold, even if they do share a lot in common with the typical British indie sound.

The Fratellis, Kasabian, The Arctic Monkeys, and The Strokes need to learn how to take over American airwaves. LIKE VERY SOON.

Oh, and The Libertines need to reform and shut bands like Bloc Party the hell up.

If bands like The Fratellis want to succeed in America, then bands like My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy have to SHUT THE FUCK Up, already...

Problem is The Fratellis didn't have a good enough debut album, at least to me. All good tunes, but it felt like it was a random with no sense of order.

Another problem is a lot of Americans are thick and completely ignored the modern classics from British bands like The Libs, Kasabian, and The Monkeys. Hell, we even ignored a modern classic from a band homegrown here(The Strokes). And Bloc Party gets attention? Lawlz off MTV.

I think it's really a matter of divided music from the 90s. In America it was grunge (which is LAWLZON aside from Nirvana to me), Britain it was Brit Pop.

Anyways, my favorite tunes from The Fratellis are probably Whistle For The Choir, Flathead, and Vince The Loveable Stoner.

Costello Music, in my opinion had every single song that was great but the order was random, yes...I like The Fratellis' B-Sides (which I downloaded legally, of course!)...I feel that rock bands today don't really have any imagination apart from the cool ones like The Shins and Ambulance LTD...It's almost like gaming in a way...

Ah, I completly forgot about B-Sides from them. I usually buy the singles from eBay if they aren't too expensive, I still need to wear out the debut to warrant buying any first though.

To be honest, I don't really mind if bands are creative or not, as long as they sound good. Example: I'd take Oasis, a band that many critics have called derivative, over Radiohead, who critics cum over. Like indie, it's nothing really new, just like new age Punk, but a lot of the bands sound good to me.

If you like The Fratellis, I suggest The Libertines. Criminally underrated in the states, the two albums they made are incredible.

Jet is a great band, their second album is one of the best I've heard from last year. That's why I usually ignore critics, they don't know shit.

Yeah, I was really unimpressed when I heard Put Your Money... but I'm glad I bought the album. I dig Shiny Magazine, Bring It On Back, Kings Horses, and Eleanor.

The whole album sounds a lot like The Beatles to me.
