St Jude

Product Information

Think we're channelling Interpol with the intro and quite a lot of guitars (Aftershow too)…it became more jangly and dreamy the more we demoed it. At their best, when Fray’s gruff Manc-Irish rasp knits together with walls of thunderous guitars, The Courteeners sound not like some new Oasis but a British version of Kings Of Leon. In November and December the band embarked on a UK tour that initially included 5 consecutive nights at Manchester Apollo which is unprecedented for any band at the venue. On 27 May 2017, Courteeners played their biggest gig to date, a sold-out headline homecoming show to 50,000 people [41] [42] at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester with support acts The Charlatans, Cabbage and Blossoms.

Make no mistake, then: when The Courteeners play it straight and go for the rock’n’roll jugular they’re a highly competent outfit but not, it must be said, a brilliant one just yet. However, if anyone needs Saint Jude’s divine intervention for a cause it’s The Courteeners themselves. Two versions were released on seven-inch vinyl: the first with "Trying Too Hard to Score", while the other featured a demo version of "If It Wasn't for Me". Courteeners are an English band formed in Middleton in 2006 by Liam Fray (lead guitar/vocals), Michael Campbell (drums/backing vocals), Daniel "Conan" Moores (rhythm guitar) and Mark Cuppello (bass); the last was replaced by the band's producer Joe Cross in 2015. The band’s 2021 show at Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground sold out all 50,000 tickets in less than an hour – high demand is expected for this show, fans are encouraged to secure tickets early to avoid disappointment.You can almost hear us departing from the record [on this track, which was unreleased until this 15th Anniversary Edition]. The band will celebrate 15 years of St Jude with a very special Heaton Park show on Friday 9th June 2023 and a remastered 15th Anniversary Edition of the album released on 13th January. Well, that’s the best job, because once you’re out of there, you’re doing the rounds, you go to see a friend who works up the road. On 25 November 2015, it was confirmed that Courteeners have parted ways with their bassist Mark Cuppello. If you’re afforded the chance to work with somebody amazing [Street] and they’re suggesting bits and bobs like that, it’s almost insulting to not try it.
