Welcoming Back... The Courteeners

The Courteeners are back! The song 'Cross My Heart & Hope To Fly' was played on Zane Lowe's show for the first time tonight, and is now available as a free download from http://www.thecourteeners.com/ . The song marks a more mature chapter in their growing career, many people suggesting they are heading the way of Elbow. This is no bad thing, with some great early raw, rock tunes and tender moments on great debut 'St. Jude' and then a more orchestral and mature transition on 'That Kiss' last year, providing fans a glimpse of their direction.

Expect the forthcoming album, 'Falcon', due next February to be more of the same and to do very well. The band play their biggest solo date this Friday at Manchester Central. All 10,000 tickets are sold out.

If you pre-order the album, the band are offering this prize; In a special Fan Offer you can pre-order the 2CD album and the Cross My Heart 7” and not only enjoy a price saving, but also get your name printed in the CD album booklet if you order before Jan 1st. Immortalised forever as a super fan.
