It seems Manchester has produced yet another noisy band with a penchant for choruses and Stella Artois who are going to dominate the indie world... namely, the much fancied The Courteeners. What's the fuss? Well you can find out yourself as the band have announced a new headlining UK tour, starting in April.

The band go out on the road from April 9, promoting their Stephen Street-produced debut album St Jude which is released on April 7. Tickets for the gigs went on sale this morning, so get the card out and pay fast as these'll be snapped up in no time. If you liked Definitely Maybe, you'll love these indie thugs. Dates over...
