Raw and raucous garage rockers the Courettes are an international phenomenon in more ways than one -- they've attracted a loyal following in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, while their guitarist/singer is from Brazil and the drummer hails from Denmark. United by the universal language of rock & roll, they play no-frills garage punk with plenty of energy and a melodic sense that makes room for old-school punk, '60s pop, girl group sounds, surf music, and revved-up psychedelia. The Courettes sounded elemental and energetic on their 2015 debut Here Are the Courettes, and tighter and a bit more musically ambitious, but still capable of shaking the house on 2018's We Are the Courettes. 2021's Back in Mono boasted more tough rock & roll captured in the group's own vintage recording facility.
