Here We Stand is the second studio album by Scottish rock band The Fratellis, following their successful debut Costello Music from 2006. The album was released on 9 June 2008 in the United Kingdom and 10 June 2008 in the United States, and was their first release on Island Records.

Despite some negative reviews from critics and fans, Here We Stand reached number five in the UK Albums Chart on 15 June 2008. The album was released in the same week as Coldplay's long-awaited Viva la Vida, which sold over 300,000 copies in its first week of release.^[1] The song "Tell Me a Lie" was used in the soundtrack for the football (soccer) game FIFA 09, and "My Friend John" was used in the soundtrack for Forza Motorsport 3. "Tell Me A Lie" was also the featured track on bebo.

However, Jon Fratelli stated on the band's official forum that each single off this album will contain 3 B-Sides^[3]. 2 of these B-Sides are on the CD Format and 1 on the 7" Vinyl format.
