The Liverpool upstarts continue to establish their sound on single number three.
Spearheading a new wave of Britpop, Courting continue to establish their witty and memorable sound on latest single ‘David Byrne’s Badside’, The young band from Liverpool take the best from the genres 90s heyday and infuse it with contemporary indie rock sounds to create something that feels distinctly familiar yet refreshingly new.
This single is a showcase of all that the outfit have to offer. From razor sharp satire to memorably ferocious hooks and melodies, Courting are an act that are looking to rapidly ascend into the spotlight, and have all of the tools and killer sounds to do so.
Lead singer and guitarist Sean says on the single; “David Byrne’s Badside has nothing to do with the Talking Heads frontman. It’s about class tourism and the casual racism that exists in Britain today. It’s a portrait of the type of person who votes UKIP and wants to close our borders yet promises they’re not a racist. The type of person who says to buy British yet owns a Porsche. At the same time, we’re referencing and poking fun at more lighthearted aspects of British culture, like the collective rage when somebody takes the low offer on The Chase, and Twitter spats about Blur and Oasis. We also really just wanted an excuse to have a saxophone solo.”
