The Courteeners - St. Jude
The Courteeners arrive riding the crest of a wave of hype, with the likes of Radio 1 and the NME hailing them as the next big thing. Certainly, it’s hard to fault the energy and enthusiasm behind tracks like ‘Cavorting’ and ‘Bide Your Time’. Jangly guitars, a lolloping back beat and singalong choruses are the order of the day. Whilst not exactly Morrissey, singer Liam Fray does a reasonable line in observational lyrics and manages to raise the odd smile. Despite all that, it’s hard to tell what sets their winklepickers apart from the array of skinny jean-wearing indie boys competing for attention these days. Stewart McCullough
