THE COURTEENERS – Blackpool – Leeds Poster Print

Courteeners are an English band Manchester. Formed in 2006 by Liam Fray, Michael Campbell, and Daniel “Conan” Moores. In December 2012, the band dropped “The” from their name, continuing simply as “Courteeners“.

Courteeners fully embrace their Mancunian roots, combining The Smiths’ sweet guitar pop with a dash of Joy Division’s moody post-punk. All the music and lyrics for the Courteeners’ songs are written by the band’s frontman Liam Fray. He claims that all of the songs he has written are about personal experiences.

The band quickly grew a following in the UK with jittery, jangly singles like “Not Nineteen Forever” and the downward spiral tale “You Overdid It Doll”. Meanwhile, the band later earned the reputation of being one of the best live bands in the UK.

In 2015 the band embarked on a UK tour, the tour including London, Glasgow, and Manchester were sold out in minutes, gradually more shows were added meaning the band played 7 nights at Manchester Apollo, unprecedented for any band at the venue.

They have released six studio albums: St. Jude (2008), Falcon (2010), Anna (2013), Concrete Love (2014), Mapping the Rendezvous (2016) and More. Again. Forever. (2020).
