LAST OCTOBER BRIT AWARD-WINNING GLASWEGIAN ROCK GROUP THE FRATELLIS ISSUED WE NEED MEDICINE – THEIR FIRST NEW STUDIO ALBUM IN FIVE YEARS.
The Fratellis had been on hiatus since 2008’s HERE WE STAND, follow-up to debut COSTELLO MUSIC (2006). Both albums went Top Five in the UK, and single CHELSEA DAGGER seemed to become something of a ‘go to’ for directors of TV football montages…
In this new edition of The Mouthcast, Barry – bassist with the band named after the criminal family in Spielberg’s THE GOONIES – talks about the impact of having a far-reaching hit single, reveals that “hiatus” actually means “split up”, and discusses the magic apparent when the band first reconvened… Single SHE’S NOT GONE YET BUT SHE’S LEAVING is released on 3rd February.
