New iPod+iTunes Commercial

After seeing the new iPod+iTunes commercial about a dozen times on television, I decided to do some research. I couldn’t help myself, considering the song in the commercial was so damn catchy.

I found out the song is called “Flathead” and it’s by the Scottish indie rock band, the Fratellis. You can see the commercial here, or find out more about the band at their official Web site, http://www.thefratellis.com/.

The single is an infectiously upbeat and toe-tapping kind of song that’ll be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Lead singer and guitarist, Jon Fratelli, fronts the band with swanky, assertive vocals and boomslap rhythms, alongside bassist Barry Fratelli and drummer Mince Fratelli.

The Fratellis’ upcoming album, Costello Music, which features “Flathead,” is due to come out March 12, 2007.

I’m definitely going to keep an eye on this band and I look forward to hearing more from them.
