The Fratellis

[John Dorian]

I only discovered this band about a month ago and at the moment I am in love with their music, just cannot keep listening to it.

I am fairly new to their style so I was wondering if anyone could tell me and bands similar to their style of music.

 

[Powerade 08]

Arctic Monkeys?

That's about it.

 

[ManWithNoName]

The Pigeon Detectives
The Last Shadow Puppets

 

[Opportunity Cost]

Very good band, if I remember rightly I think I got into them after Fender reccomended them a couple of years back.

 

[treefingers]

Franz Ferdinand and the Wombats as well as the bands already mentioned.

 

[Spikey]

Pretty much every UK 'indie' band since The Libertines.

 

[La Dispute]

I've only heard their first album.

It was cool.

Should I hear the second?

 

[Opportunity Cost]

The first is quite a bit better. Not a huge fan of the second myself but it isn't bad.

 

[Fender]

Yeh their first album is much better than their second. Nothing wrong with the second, it's just not really as good. Not quite in the same style.

Don't listen to them as much these days. Was addicted to them for some time though.

Alot of different 'indie' bands mentioned in this thread, none of which I would say would be similar to The Fratellis, it is rather different.

Little Man Tate are the only really similar band I can think off the top of my head. But nearly all the bands mentioned are worth a listen, great bands.

 

[ManWithNoName]

I actually much, much prefer the second album. Similar style, just much more mature, and has a much more album feel to it.

 

[Fender]

In the 2nd album, I do actually prefer the songs where they have moved away from Costello music.

Mistress Mabel and Acid Jazz Singer both feel like they should have been on Costello Music, and probally wouldn't have been real strongs songs on it. Brings the album down IMO.

I love Acid Jazz Singer. I'm not the biggest fan of Mistress Mabel though.

 

[Opportunity Cost]

If you were a shape, what shape would you be?

It is always that same feeling when a band you love changes direction. It has to happen or things get stale, but you still aren't quite satisfied.

 

[Deez Baby]

Arctic Monkeys
The Wombats
The Futureheads
The Maccabees
The cribs
The Libertines
The Foals and The Kooks (Slightly different though, but still good and in that genre in a way I believe)

'Foals' are nothing like the libertines, besides the fact that they're english.

oh, and theyre much much much much better than all the other bands in this thread.
