Before you ask, no, the Courtneys are not all named Courtney. Hailing from Vancouver, B.C., the trio deal heavily in the fuzzy guitar-powered rock of the early ’90s and Kiwi rock with sugary-sweet, harmonic vocals that kind of remind of Blink-182 (lol). There’s a hint of power pop in the mix, too, a mess of power chords over straightforward, catchy lyrics. “Tour” demands body convulsions with its beating drums and rhythmic guitar riffs. “25” is equal parts angsty and upbeat, reflecting on a night out: “Is it you I want/or is it you I wanna be/what am I running from?"
