May 25, 20205 yr Author 24. The Fratellis – Here We Stand Release year: 2008 UK Chart Peak: #5 Greatest Hits: No Can you guess an album cover just by looking at a pair of neatly pressed trousers? That was what I wondered when I put this album artwork for The Fratellis in this quiz, and by all accounts it was guessed correctly by a small number. Here We Stand was the second album by the band, released in 2008, peaked at #5 in the UK Album Chart, and it contained minor hits like Baby Fratelli and Mistress Mabel.
