Advantages: An excellent debut album Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!
Born and bread in Scotland, The Fratellis are proving to the world that there?s reason to get excited about the world of rock n? roll at the moment with their debut outing ?Costello Music?
Personally, the Arctic Monkeys are the best ?new? band I?ve heard in the past eighteen months?the Fratellis however must come a very respectable second. With my constant deploring on ?NME-esque? bands, the Fratellis offer up something different to the norm. Jumpy, exciting, addictive music.

Sadly Lou Costello died 2 years later in 1959. Bud Abbott however lived until ...

~Synopsis~
