Ole Black N Blue Eyes

More jaunty, happy go lucky, hummable noughties Brit-pop that in truth is nothing more than a clever blend of The Kinks/Hollies/Squeeze/Blur/La’s. So derivative is it in fact that it sounds like it was knocked together in half an hour before everyone went off to the pub. Still, it’ll probably score well.

Chelsea Dagger

This new single is a three-minute distillation of exactly what the Frattellis are about, with lots of hand-claps, a manic sing-along chorus and, of course, driving drums behind buzz-saw guitars. ‘Chelsea Dagger’ is the perfect tune to get the masses warmed up for their debut, out next month. Sure, it’s shambolic in places. But these boys sure know how to bring it all back together to create an all-singing, all-stamping wig out.

Henrietta

You've got to hand it to them for their energy. The pace of 'Henrietta' is frenetic throughout - and it's a lot of fun to dance around to. With the current overload of young post-punk rockers clamouring for attention in the UK, The Fratellis may have a difficult time standing out. This is a strong debut single though, so if things go right for them, they could be bumping shoulders with those pesky Monkeys and Chiefs in no time.
