I (happily) haven't heard of this band before.

Seems like they are a pretty big deal now

Also it seems like most cities now have an academy as well.

Are they a big deal?

How, why?

The album

I like "Cavorting" and the acoustic version of "Not Nineteen Forever"....but the album is a big disappointment

I checked 'em out and

NME cover?

Also, tiniest chance black_rooster may have had half a thought about a pun on the "Seems like British Sea Power are a pretty big deal now" story...

I'd say they're probably the biggest band in the country at the minute.

Ask me again at Christmas.

I'm against touting, but in cases like this it'd be stupid to not snap some up for the home leg. They'll be going for £100+ outside, and it's only chavs that'll be getting exploited so i'm not sure it's all that bad!

hmm

i seriously doubt that courteeners tickets would go for 100 quid well i hope not because its not worth it. i got tickets for a tenner at the barfly and they were decent but as labelled by the nme definitly not the new oasis however much nme want them to be.
