The Courteeners

English indie rock band from Manchester led by Liam Fray. Debut album St. Jude was released in 2008.

Formed in Manchester (2006). Liam Fray is the band's frontman. Reviews note the band's move from early guitar-rock towards more experimental and electronic-influenced sounds on later releases; several albums reached the UK top ten and the band is known for packed live shows.

Two DeBaser reviews cover The Courteeners' debut St. Jude (draft translation, low score) and the 2020 album More. Again. Forever. (praised as adventurous). The band is presented as a Manchester indie act led by Liam Fray, with discussion of stylistic shifts and live popularity. Review commentary notes influences (LCD Soundsystem) and highlights tracks such as "Hanging Off Your Cloud".
