Courting is a band that introduces strong pop punk elements into '90s style britpop. They play a high energy style that often rolls along with a lot of power from one end to the other. There are some angular guitars and a jagged feel that appears as a carry-over from the sound they started out with on 2022's Guitar Music, which had a more post-punk edge, perhaps along the lines of some of their contemporaries like Sports Team. They have since then gone on to embrace a more hook-driven approach that seems to be borrowing as much from Paramore and The Strokes as they do from, say, Pulp. Their songs remain just as accessible with the overt melodic tones they are built on, and the band plays them in a punchy, uptempo style. Lyrically, singer Sean Murphy-O’Neill stays close to his sardonic social observations with some politics mixed in.
