Free Music Notes for Here We Stand
Free Music Review: Harder Rock, More Rythm and again instantly loveable
Hit: 5 Stars
Costello Music, when the Fratellis debuted on the mainstream in 2006 was an album that from the very first song, you fell in love with the album and the band. Their music was instantly memorable and something that you could get up and dance to without giving much thought to what you were listening to. The art of the Fratellis is that they can make music with excellent lyrics for those who pay attention to that aspect of music, and it's catchy making them the prime choice for parties. Costello Music made an impact and gave the indie bands some credibility amongst the mainstream audiences. Usually when a new band or artist has such a successful debut they generally fail to live up to that hype with their second album.
Here We Stand, was not just the second Fratellis album, but it was an extension of their musical ability. The "Rock" aspect of their music is instantly more apparent with the first song of the album "My Friend John."
You instantly become aware that the Fratellis aren't necessarily moving away from the Costello Music sound, but they seem to be wanting to extend their sound into something even more memorable. The first released single of the album Mistress Mable is once again a unique sound for what we're used to from the Fratellis. That song can only be compared to the Elton John piano rock songs of the past and is something that the Fratellis can be thanked for, for bringing them into the present.

Here We Stand Poster
THE FRATELLIS "HERE WE STAND"The much anticipated follow-up to The Fratellis debut "Costello Music". Like it's predecessor, "Here We Stand" has a great melodic sense and funny heartfelt lyrics, rounded out with excellent production and ear-grabbing vocals. "Costello Music" has scanned nearly 150,000 units in the US and over one million units in the UK to date. "Costello Music" was also a critical and licensor's favorite in 2007, including most notably an iTunes campaign, among many other placements. Throughout the fi rst album campaign, every time the band came to the US their audience increased dramatically (NYC concert attendance went from Mercury Lounge to Roseland in only 5 months, band was highlight of SXSW and Coachella).
On this album - the first to be released simultaneously worldwide - the band is committed out of the gate to touring the world in support.
In spite--or perhaps because of--being written off by many critics as a commercial pub-rock outfit, Glaswegian band The Fratellis have managed to procure themselves a fairly prodigious fan base. Their catchy songs, gigantic hooks and good-time lyrics have earned the band an army of fans keen to indulge in a bawdy sing-a-long. If the trend-setting press were tough on the band?s 2006 debut Costello Music though, The Fratelli?s weren?t listening. Here We Stand continues pretty much where that album left off, although it could be argued that a lot of the charm of their first album has disappeared. The clanging rock riffs of songs like "Shameless", "Mistress Mabel" and "Acid Jazz Singer" show the band in typically ribald form, while "Tell Me A Lie" and "A Heady Tale" attempt to revive the big-haired rocker spirit of 70s acts like Slade and Status Quo. Infectious as some of this material is, Here We Stand somehow doesn?t capture the same cocky joie de vivre that made Costello Music so much fun. At the same time, it?s refreshing to hear a band so determined to do their own thing and have a good time--no matter what the critics say.--Danny McKenna
