What the label says:

Jon Fratelli isn’t sure of THE moment in the 18-month world tour in support of ‘Costello Music’ – the moment when he and his fellow Fratellis knew their debut album had become some kind of phenomenon. Was it hearing Chelsea Dagger hoovering up radio play throughout the latter half of 2006, or being sung on the terraces at Stamford Bridge, Celtic Park and Love Street? Was it the crowds roaring their approval as The Fratellis toured at the end of that year? Winning the 2007 Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act, Apple requesting the use of ‘Flathead’ in an iPod ad. . Or was it selling over one million copies of ‘Costello Music’?

Nah. Jon does know THE moment, the tipping point, the solid gold easy action brain-melt snapshot…. “T In The Park, July 2006, no question,” he nods. “We’d only released [first single] ‘Henrietta’. ‘Chelsea Dagger’ wasn’t out, the album was two months away.”

This time round the band are established, and playing on a much bigger stage - Mistress Mabel is A listed all over the country, and the band are playing the main stage at Glastonbury, T In The Park, Reading and Leeds as well as doing their own show at Somerset house.

Here We Stand represents a huge step up for the Glasgow boys, full of anthemic sing alongs and bursting with a new found confidence, it already has The Sun proclaiming that the album is a "Modern British rock classic"
