Album Notes Composer: The Fratellis. On their energetic and assured full-length debut, COSTELLO MUSIC, the Fratellis offer up a charmingly mischievous set of guitar-driven Britpop. Like rowdier cousins of the Kooks, these Scottish lads clearly look for inspiration to 1970s glam icons such as Marc Bolan and David Bowie (see the hard-charging, T. Rex-like "Flathead" and the stomping "Chelsea Dagger"), but they also indulge in whimsical Beatlesque ditties (most notably the lighthearted "Vince the Lovable Stoner"), proving that they're not tethered to one particular approach. COSTELLO MUSIC is the perfect soundtrack for a night of pub-crawling.
Editorial Reviews Their punchy choruses and propulsive garage riffs are as addictive as those of 2006 sensations Arctic Monkeys. -- Grade: B+ Entertainment Weekly
3.5 stars out of 5 -- Their jumpy punk mess of a sound goes down like a debauchery-inspiring elixir, and their song titles read like charming inside jokes. Rolling Stone
