Up and coming Liverpool based teenage rock band, Courting hit us with their groovy and intelligent new single ‘Popshop!’ Lead singer Sean Murphy-O’Neil sings with a singular voice, showing range and execution with a laid back versatile style. Courting delivers a sonically rich and well written song about the darkness of the pop music industry with musical inklings reminiscent of Parquet Courts and Fontaines D.C. Check out “Popshop!” below…
“Popshop is about the music industry, the idea of selling out and consumerism. The name is derived from Keith Haring’s store of the same name, and the idea that it is positive for your art to be consumed by a larger audience rather than only seen as something for upper class art collectors or something to buy for its future resale value. We’re also poking fun at bands writing the same song over and over again, and wishing that we could sell our bathwater like Belle Delphine.”
