不记得上一个来自英国苏格兰的乐队是什么，不过可以肯定The Fratellis是现在苏格兰最被看好的indie团体，已经有评论把他们和The Libertines相提并论了。The Fratellis来自英国苏格兰的格拉斯哥，就是有着著名的流浪者队的格拉斯哥，一共由三人组成的他们在2005年的时候签约了Island，然后就慢慢开始建立起自己的歌迷队伍，时下他们正和Kasabian一起巡回演出，根据成员的名字判断，三人不是亲兄弟就是表兄弟。
Glasgow's the Fratellis feature Jon Fratelli (vocals/guitar), Mince Fratelli (drums/vocals), and Barry Fratelli (bass). The witty indie rock trio, who formed in early 2005, maintain that their moniker is merely an homage to Barry's original surname, however other rumors suggest that the Fratellis borrowed it from the nemesis featured in Steven Spielberg film, The Goonies. Such trivia only added to the Fratellis growing appeal upon their performance debut in March 2005. Their limited-edition self-titled EP arrived a month later and sold out quickly thanks to "Creepin Up the Backstairs." The acoustic-driven tune, which is a little T. Rex, landed in regular rotation on Zane Lowe's Radio One program, and appearances on Later with Jools Holland and Top of the Pops followed in early summer. Second single "Henrietta" earned the Fratellis their first U.K. Top 20 hit. Third single "Chelsea Dagger" was burning up the U.K. Top 40 by August.

A brashly melodic indie rock outfit from Glasgow, the Fratellis feature vocalist/guitarist Jon Fratelli, drummer Mince Fratelli, and bassist Barry Fratelli. The witty trio played its first show in early 2005, maintaining that the band's moniker was merely an homage to Barry's original surname (however, other rumors suggest that the Fratellis borrowed it from the nemesis family featured in Steven Spielberg's film The Goonies). Such trivia only added to the Fratellis' growing appeal upon their performance debut, and the band's limited-edition self-titled EP arrived in April 2006. Although few copies were pressed, the record received a helpful boost from Zane Lowe's Radio One program, which put the acoustic-driven track "Creepin Up the Backstairs" into regular rotation. Televised appearances on Later with Jools Holland and Top of the Pops followed during the early summer, while the group's second single, "Henrietta", earned the Fratellis their first U.K. Top 20 hit. "Chelsea Dagger" began climbing the U.K. Top 40 that August, and the debut album Costello Music finally arrived in September. Although the album failed to chart in most countries (even an American iPod commercial featuring the track "Flathead" failed to spark much interest across the pond), Costello Music enjoyed a great deal of success at home, earning the bandmates a BRIT Award and peaking at number two in their native U.K. The band then returned to the British charts in 2008 with "Mistress Mabel," a track from their polished sophomore effort Here We Stand.
