The Courteeners - St Jude
The Courteeners - No You Didnt No You DontThe Courteeners - That Kiss
Since they announced their arrival with debut single (and NME single of the Week), Cavorting, The Courteeners have barely stopped. Repeated sold out tours throughout the UK, a string of chart singles and a Top 5 debut album in the shape of St. Jude have been accompanied by a rapid rise to prominence for the band that were, only last year, Manchester's best kept secret.
Now, with the dust barely settled on the release of the now gold certified St. Jude, Liam Fray has appeared from the studio with a new single. That Kiss, produced once again by Stephen Street, is a slice of modern balladry shot through with a Ronettes rhythm and a chorus sure to echo across the UK when the band embark on a further sold out tour in October. The strings were arranged by Liam and are played by the players heard on Blur's The Universal. A completely new track, That Kiss is yet to be aired live and is a stand alone single in the tradition of such band favourites as The Smiths and The Stone Roses amongst others.
The Courteeners will have played to over 60,000 people at the end of their forthcoming tour of the UK, a string of shows which includes two sold out shows at both London's Shepherds Bush Empire and the Apollo in their native Manchester, a phenomenal achievement for a band on their debut album.

Scott, Thin Lizzy: ilikemusic because... It lets my adrenalin start pumping, it gets aggression out, and sometimes I can actually get emotional with it. There are many reasons why I like music.

Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
Keane: ilikemusic because... It’s the way we express ourselves
