For instance, Two Door apperaed also a lot in the last 9 years, but they don't get the same treatment. I thik it's more something inhaited because they from the north. I am from the north and in my opinion the hatred towards Courteeners has absolutely nothing to do with where they’re from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m southern and i do actually quite like Courteeners tbh, but, i think its fair to say they haven’t released a good album since St. Jude. Also that St. Jude Rewired album or whatever it was is awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are indie act as The Kooks, The Wombats etc... Why do people really only focus on them all the timmr. Ok, they are from Mancchster, but it's still not a reson for so much slanders. and BTW, from spotify they have roughly 70,000 listeners monthly from London which is almost triple the number from Manchster. It's not that they only popular up north. It's only thay their fans in the north are a lot more loyal and devoteded for them. 3x as many fans in a city 10x as big - sums it up really, they are clearly more popular up north They also take up slots bigger than they should be is the issue, two door around 3rd down/weak sub and wombats/kooks/vaccines 4th down roughly.

The Kooks are even worse if that helps I think the main problem is that the music is just boring and uninspired. I wouldn’t put the Wombats (also from the north) in the same bracket, they’re far more balls out poppy and interesting Edited February 24, 2020 by Benj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they were outstanding at Kendal Calling and while I think they're a shocking choice for a major festival headliner, I still suspect they'll put on a great show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what this means for the Relentless stage? I assume they’ll carry it on under a new name instead of scrapping it? Weird cos Relentless have sponsored Leeds for the best part of the past decade or so I think. Thoughts? Be gutted if no relentless stage, The late night stages is what makes leeds what it is I feel! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
