Courtneys

Though inspired by classic Flying Nun and C86 era bands, THE COURTNEYS sound is not tied to one single era. A penchant for pop craft collides with the trio’s shambolic musicianship, resulting in slacker punk that’s at once sweet and subtle. The band’s unassuming namesake, COURTNEY, brings the fuzz with her guitar playing. Drummer JEN (who spent time in Mac DeMarco's former band, MAKEOUT VIDEOTAPE) is both the backbone and front person of the group singing about boys, Keanu Reeves and other pressing concerns. SYDNEY’s driving bass lines hold everything together and provide traction for the eight impressive tracks on the band’s vinyl debut. The Courtneys also marks the vinyl return of Vancouver’s Hockey Dad Records, the label behind cult classic releases from White Lung, Defektors, Fun 100 and B-Lines.
