The Fratellis are a 3-member band from Glasgow, Scotland that formed in 2005. The origin of their name is debatable. First, "fratelli" means "brothers" in Italian. Although the members in the band aren't brothers, "brothers" could suggest a sort of brotherhood or close relationship. Second, some believe the band's name was derived from The Goonies in which the last name of the family of criminals is Fratelli. And third, supposedly Barry's (the bassist) surname is Fratelli.
They've released one album called Costello Music, which featured the song "Flathead". They're probably best known for this song since it was featured in Apple iPod+iTunes ads.
