Info zu Half Drunk Under a Full Moon

The Fratellis return with a brand new album 'Half Drunk Under The Full Moon'. The first track from the album, 'Six Days In June', is an upbeat and foot-stomping anthem that sure to put a big smile on the face of any Fratellis' fan!

"Some days you sit on the couch watching daytime TV and along comes a song like Six Days In June to remind you that you're still alive!" - Jon Fratelli

'Half Drunk Under The Full Moon' follows their critically acclaimed album 'In Your Own Sweet Time', their first top 5 UK album in 10 years, and this new album very much continues on this upward trajectory and is likely to become a signature moment in the band's career.
