It seems that yet another band has bitten the dust. Scottish rockers The Fratellis have posted gloomy messages via their official homepage hinting at an end of their five year Brit rock career. The group’s debut album Costello Music, released in 2006, debuted at a high #2 on the UK Album Charts and was also successful in the United States peaking at #48.

Singer Jon Fratelli wrote on thefratellis.com: “We have no plans to work together right now”

“Sometimes things just work out that way. Mince, Baz and I are working on music but not with each other.

“Your passion is appreciated more than we will ever be able to say. We’ll forever give our hearts and souls to music and to you guys who want to hear what we do.”

Bassist Baz Fratelli added “From the very first day we got together The Fratellis never had a plan as such, we knew we were good, we knew we had a chance to make it.”

“Turns out we were right, everything fell into place and we’ve spent the last five or so years touring the world sharing this great music with you all.”

“At this particular point in time though we’ve found ourselves making music still but just not together. This is just the way it goes I suppose sometimes.”

One shall see….
