I have this theory that no matter how generic or dull a band is, if a group of people can play some instruments and write a few original songs, they'll hit gold at least once.

I believe that every band has a killer song in them. Yes, I'm going on about Chasing Rainbows by Shed Seven. You knew that.

For a few years, my view on The Courteeners has been rather dominated by Not Nineteen Forever. It's a classic indie anthem, but I didn't think there was much else to this band, having seen them a couple of times at festivals.

I've been listening to their latest album 'ANNA' quite a bit though and they may be due a reappraisal. There's some pretty smart lyrics on there.
