Shit Guys


Here is my attempt to start up a music blog. Starting with Artist of the Day. The way this'll work is by my bro texting me a random artist from his iPod and I'll write about them (possibly even post some files). Not much more to say about that so lets start it off. Today we begin with The Fratellis!



We'll go with alternative rock from Glasgow Scotland, the Fratellis who take their name from the evil family in The Goonies (how appropriate). This wonderful trio of musicians has taken on a rare but somewhat catchy trick by giving themselves each the same last name. Jon, Barry, and Mince debuted with Costello Music in 2006 (we'll look past the EP they put out in '05). Costello Music is a raw, brit-punk influenced album with both powerful, upbeat songs as well as slower emotional songs. I'm not a huge history buff when it comes to them but that's the jist of what I know. Their second album is called Here We Stand and was released in 2008. I haven't heard much of it though, so not much info there.
