Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents The Fratellis' Jon Fratellis. Double-Platinum-selling rock trio, THE FRATELLIS The group just announced that their brand new album, HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON, will be released on April 9, and lead singer/songwriter/guitarist, Jon Fratelli, is available for interviews from the UK via phone or zoom. Check out the private link to their album HERE. The Scottish group, known for their Double-Platinum selling album, COSTELLO MUSIC, and their worldwide hit single, “Chelsea Dagger,” recently dropped their newest single and video titled “Action Replay,” featuring the their signature melodic sound and emotional lyrics. “Action Replay” is the follow up to their previously released singles "Six Days In June" and "Strangers In The Street" (feat. P.P. Arnold). HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON is the band’s sixth album, full of melodic surprises, from its flamboyant title track and lush songs steeped in brass and strings, to twists on the stomping sing-alongs with which the trio first found fame. Recorded in Los Angeles, California, with producer and long-time collaborator Tony Hoffer (Beck, Fitz and the Tantrums, Elle King), The Fratellis geared up for the release of HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON in 2020 – to follow their 2018 Top 5 album IN YOUR OWN SWEET TIME -- when the pandemic put a pause on their plans. “Six Days in June” hit the airwaves, revealing the trio’s new direction, just weeks before the world shut down. “We had a whole year’s worth of work that didn’t happen...” says Jon. “As a band who has a loyal audience we know we’re in a fortunate position.” image002HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON pairs the hooks and hallmarks of The Fratellis of old with the spirit of adventure they discovered on IN YOUR OWN SWEET TIME sent into overdrive. “These are by far the most colourful songs I’ve ever written,” says Jon. “Lots of musicians claim to have that condition where you hear music in colours. I don’t, but I definitely associate certain types of melody with different colours and these ones were multi-coloured.” Tracklist for HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON includes: 1. Half Drunk Under a Full Moon 2. Need a Little Love 3. Lay Your Body Down 4. The Last Songbird 5. Strangers In The Street 6. Living In The Dark 7. Action Replay 8. Six Days In June 9. Oh Roxy 10. Hello Stranger Success came quickly to The Fratellis, who formed in Glasgow in 2005 and comprised of Jon Fratelli with bassist/backing vocalist Barry Fratelli, and drummer/backing vocalist Mince Fratelli. Arriving a year later, their debut album, COSTELLO MUSIC not only went Double-Platinum, but led to The Fratellis winning the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act in 2007. A successful second album, HERE WE STAND, followed in 2008, but this whirlwind of success came at a cost, and by the end of the decade the trio was forced into indefinite hiatus, burned out from their relentless life on the road. Since reforming in 2012, The Fratellis have been on a continuous upward trajectory, finding themselves enjoying a more sustainable type of success. They have steadily regained their live following thanks to a new generation of Fratellis fans, not just in Britain, but all over the world. HALF DRUNK UNDER A FULL MOON finds the trio entering their third decade at ease with who they are and where they are: a band who has not only survived, but thrived, and are currently making the best, most confident, and most ambitious music of their career.Help support the show.
