if we're talking scottish bands, i like the fratellis meself.
i have no idea who glasvegas is and to be honest i probably wont look them up.

the fratellis and glasvegas are the same thing
in my mind anyway loldef not a fan of the fratellis (so that makes me about the only person in the uk not to like them).

I've said it before (in a note, above) but I'll happily say it again. The fratelli's are footy anthem, bonehead indie for fucking 4 year olds.

I'd quite like to see a fight between them and Franz Ferdinand though

saw glasvegas at the jamhouse in edinburgh a few months ago. truly awful, one of the worst i've ever seen, all style and no kahunas.

Alan talked about them as the best band from Scotland since The Mary Chain. I'm a huge JAMC fan myself and I love Glasvegas, hype or not. Will still love this sound when they aren't flavour of the month anymore. Love James thick accent. To me they sound like the perfect mix of JAMC with The Ronettes (Their cover of be my baby is really good). Their sound is overall very Spector-esque.
Geraldine is one of the better songs this year.

I have to say if you see them live they are phenomenal. I'm not a fan of there's but I saw them live and they blew me away. Big wall of beautiful noise.

I take it back. Just listened to the album and it's fucking gash.

I think they're good and I agree its a mix of JAMC etc. I like the scots accent it sounds OK.

Got 3 requests for Glasvegas last night while djing... 3rd guy got the blunt response "no, but i'll play something they've ripped off!"

OMFG - i saw them live last year and THEY SUCK!!!!!! i got so bored i went to the back of the venue and wrote up some notes on a meeting id had that day...
srsly i just dont get it, maybe the NME hype machine is going into overdrive desparately trying to make this band the next big thing.... but they just suck so baaaaad!!!

Man, these guys are excellent. One of the better totally random albums I've picked up in recent memory. Read a great article about them in Q and picked it up last night.
This song Geraldine is really beautiful.
