ALBUM REVIEW: Courting – New Last Name

Early fans of Courting fell in love with their sardonic, post-punk festival bangers, which immediately got anybody between the ages of 16 and 24 within the nearby vicinity going feral in a mosh-pit. Their debut album, 'Guitar Music', indicated an evolution for the band, integrating distorted, glitchy pop sounds and a vibrant sense of sensory overload.
