love drummers that sing. saw them in boston..just like this. fun rock music...i go to as many shows as i can 20 to 40 a year .this is just happy..how can you not like live music..?
awesome set. It's pretty cool that even though they aren't doing anything crazy complex, they're making simplicity sound fun and I can really appreciate that.
There's so much to say about this band. Um/// man, they're SO original. It's rare to hear a band synthesize such a truly organic combination of influences. The songs joyfully pummel you in like a thick sonic comforter in the middle of a Rocky Mountain winter. The unapologetic sentimentality and melodicism of a song like "Tour" whose relentless beat is continuous because the need to fucking rock is deep. It reflects the band's overall sunny, melancholic, feeling, and triumphant-despite-all-odds outlook. These songs take pleasure and catharsis in building into truly kinetic jams, like in the first part of "Lost Boys" wherein it stokes up fire like the beginning stages of a rocket launch. The 1-2 stomping beat is accompanied by Jen Twynne's whaling vocals that together with their dutiful beats become enveloping and crashes continually like a series of 40-foot waves. The song segues into a bridge-like chorus and at this point, the needling guitar distortions start adding to this growing wall of sound, making it swell and becoming pleasurably unavoidable. Having these sounds crash on you parallels the feelings of our walls coming down. Both of their albums do this in different ways. The churning beats, taught basslines, and unpredictably angular guitars build up gradually and together, become forceful like someone giving you an encouraging push into the light when you don't know how much you need it. Like that point when our heart rate gets high enough during physical activity and passes into a light and frictionless state. Before we even notice it, the song has already propelled itself into the stratosphere. The industrious plucking of distorted guitars are like individually painted marks on a canvas: searching, finding, and adding to a whole of the picture their fullness of an expression. Intuitively, The Courtneys' music is informed by Sonic Youth's razor-wire guitar shredding and spacious production, both of which often provide exhilaratingly jagged and paradoxically soft pathways through the song, and at other times, serenade the songs themselves and fill them with vitality and warmth. The band also shares musical DNA with the band Nue!. The beautifully chaotic mess that is these jagged guitar passages coupled with Twynne's howls is a perfect foil for Koke's unswervingly dedicated basslines and Twynne's strident drumming that provide a dependable vessel through which everything else is free to travel along. The songs lyrically, texturally, and in tonality hit you like a best friend you haven't seen in years and never skip a beat with, and also, love to death. [Published only to this message thread]
Totally agree! Love this band! Great songs and sound! Haven’t heard anything from them lately, i really hope they’re doing well and still like to make music together.
Dope set! Plus they're apparently living in my own province RN- I might even be able to catch one of their shows. Thanks yet again for introducing me to a good band, audiotree ✌️
Just picked up their first LP this weekend at Bric-a-Brac Records (Chicago) and it's amazing! Will definitely be checking them out the next time they come around.
I would proudly join your girls’ Wiccan Spell circle in a heartbeat. Just sayin...tell me where to sign quick before my bloody finger scabs over!! All joking aside, this shit is classic and you do it well. Keep on rockin in the freeworld, you kooky Courtney’s.

Great band. Definitely going to listen to more of their stuff.
I love the hang time on that first chord! The Courtneys were so good.
I wish they were more popular, they are great to listen to when doing just about anything.
Dope set! Plus they're apparently living in my own province RN- I might even be able to catch one of their shows. Thanks yet again for introducing me to a good band, audiotree ✌️
