The Courteeners - No You Didnt, No You Dont
Manchester band The Courteeners are set to continue their amazing story for 2008 with the release of new single. No You Didn't, No You Don't features a collection of covers as exclusive B-sides giving an insight into the four piece's key influences that have shaped the band being heralded as the saviours of their home city's proud music scene.
It's been a year of amazing moments for Liam Fray and co. Not only did the band get to meet Bono and The Edge of U2 when Liam followed them on to the stage at the Union Chapel for a solo set in aid of MENCAP but the band were in awe at the appearance of Morrissey at a recent London show. A major influence on all the members, Morrissey is now a confirmed fan and the band will play at the O2 Wireless Festival on the same day as the man himself.
When their debut album, St.Jude crashed into the UK Top 5, there was a sense of vindication for the band given that they had spent the last twelve months playing up and down the UK to ever increasing crowds. Pre signing the band had already sold out the Manchester Academy 3, now they find themselves heading towards two very special nights in October 08 at their home town's world famous Apollo Theatre.
Before that October jaunt, the boys will be coming to a field near you with confirmed appearances at Glastonbury, O2 Wireless Festival, Oxegen, T In The Park and V 2008.
NME - 'For the first time in an age, Manchester has itself a band of the people scaling a unique charmed trajectory to hugeness'
STOP PRESS - B Sides announced. Covers of 'I'm Sticking With You' (Velvet Underground), 'About You Now' (Sugababes), 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me' (Mama Cass), 'New Romantic' (Laura Marling) and 'Out To Get You' (James) across the formats. Available across 7", CD and Download.
