Now normally I wouldn't like this kind of thing (that being generic indie crap) but Mrs. T made me listen to the Fratellis and begrudgingly, I have to admit they are fantastic. I would compare their album, Costello Music, to the Libertines' debut but more polished and less rough (though that was part of the Lib's charm). It really is rather good.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    I agree. Though less about the generic indie crap and the "begrudgingly" k? :razz:
    I like their music for its energy, great to listen to in the morning to give you a good start to your day :)

    Ummm, how about no? There is a hell of a lot of generic indie crap out there and it's nice to hear some bands that actually bother to make an effort and not copy what's been done a thousand times before.

    The begrudging part is because, as you are new to the boards and probably don't know, I'm very much a rocker and a metaller and so it's very rare for me to like guitar music that's not heavy.

    I'm a bit partial to my indie, and I have to agree with this completely. There are so many bands that are so same-y... there's only a select few that I enjoy and find refreshing.

    But I know as SOON as I write this someone will mention my liking for Babyshambles, haha.

    Haven't got the album yet but i got the EP when that came out over the summer and i love it, especially creeping up the backstairs, so i'll be getting it soon.

    They were great live when i saw them at Electric Gardens too.
