The Courteeeners are an indie rock band from Manchester. Firs formed in 2006, the Courteeners consists of Liam James Fray (guitar/vocals), Michael Campbell (drums/backing vocals), Daniel "Conan" Craig Moores (guitar), and Mark Joseph Cuppello (bass), all of whom have known each other since primary school.
