Swear Allegiance

Manchester indie rock band The Courteeners have fans in high places, with local royalty Morrissey and Noel Gallagher both declaring their love for the quartet. Having known each other since school, the group led by Liam Fray have developed a sound often compared to the Arctic Monkeys, full of amiable melodies, blunt vocals and emphatic guitars.

Returning to Reading + Leeds for the second time and releasing their third album in September, The Courteeners are on the cusp of following their geographical brothers in to greatness.
