The explosive Wall of Sound-group have conquered audiences all over the world.The Courettes is “the real deal” (Vive Le Rock, UK)
“the real sound of now busting through your door (Rolling Stone, USA)
“the world’s greatest two person rock n’ roll ensemble”! (The Next Big Thing, UK) and
“Your new favourite band once you ́ve heard them!” (Louder Than War, UK)
The Courettes. “A force to be reckoned with. Matching the garage rock ferocity of The Sonics to prime early 60s girl group, the band’s output is utterly feral in the most addictive possible way. Reminiscent of The Ronettes given a Ramones style overhaul, their evil charms arrive covered in blood-soaked glamour. Twanging guitar and raucous percussion, a wild head-long charge into the unknown.” (The Clash Magazine, UK)
The Courettes is an explosive rock duo from Denmark and Brazil who found the perfect blend between garage rock, 60s Girl Group, Wall of Sound, r&b, surf music and doo wop. Like The Ronettes meet The Ramones at a wild party at Gold Star Studios echo chamber. Praised by the biggest music magazines around the world, in 2020 the band signed with legendary British label Damaged Goods, putting them on the same roster as top international rock icons like Buzz- cocks, Manic Street Preaches, Atari Teenage Riot, New Bomb Turks, Amyl and the Sniffers, Billy Childish, Captain Sen- sible and many others.
Their third album, “Back in Mono” was released in the Fall 2021 and is a truly milestone in the career. The album brings the band in top form, showing great songwriting skills and with broader nuances, influences and sound qualities to their garage rock recipe. Singles, “Want You! Like a Cigarette”, “Hop The Twig” and “R.I.N.G.O.” all got airplay at BBC 6 Radio in England and radio stations in Europe and the USA. “Back in Mono” got top reviews in the main music magazines like Mojo, Classic Rock and Shindig and was featured in countless Best Albums of 2021.
2024 started with the release of their new single “Shake!”, Killer fuzz riffs, motown beats, hints of soul and bits of young Tina Turner’s vibes are all in there, an apetizer showcasing a bit of the recipe of The Courettes’ new album “The Soul of the Fabulous The Courettes” due to be out in September on Damaged Goods Records. “Shake!” already got brilliant reviews in the main UK and Europe media and airplay at BBC6 Radio:
“Ultra-catchy, a wicked slice of garage soul!” (Clash Magazine, UK)
“A classic hip shaking” (Vive Le Rock, UK)
“One of their catchiest pieces yet. Sassy, groovy, toe-tapping, tambourine-shaking party track”. (Classic Rock,
UK – Tracks of the Week)
“Lively and bouncy” (Rolling Stone France – Playlist de la Semaine)
“Catchiness merged with strong classic R&B-ish groove stomp” (Vinyl District, UK)
“Smells like a hit from miles away” (Monster on your back, France)
With more than 136 concerts booked already in 2024, in Europe, UK and USA, the year started with a blast of a succesful tour in France with 4 out of 5 sold out shows at Le Nuits de l ́Alligator Festival. One of the most hard-working bands on the European rock’n’roll scene, The Courettes has the reputation of delivering full-speed energetic performances (“The Courettes full-bore attack would do any festival proud” Kieron Tyler, MOJO, UK) and has played in 20 countries around Europe, Brazil, USA and Japan.
