Courteeners had their first gig at the Manchester Roadhouse in October 2006, and quickly went from strength to strength within Manchester, largely through a word of mouth following brought on by extensive gigging and television publicity.

The song was released as a stand alone track and went straight in at No: 5 in the Midweek Top 40.
Debut album, St. Jude, was released on 7 April 2008 on Polydor Records by Courteeners. The album reached No.4 position in the UK Charts and has since gone on to achieve gold status. The album was preceded by the release of single "Not Nineteen Forever" on 31 March 2008, entering at No: 19 and becoming Courteeners' highest charting single to date. Courteeners' second album "Falcon" was confirmed for release on 22 February 2010. This was preceded by a single "You Overdid It Doll" on February 15, 2010. Courteeners' second album was recorded at ICP Studios in Belgium and produced by Ed Buller. The first song released from the album was "Cross My Heart and Hope To Fly" making its radio debut on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show as his Hottest Record In The World. In Falcon's first week it entered the top 10 in 6th place. Courteeners' album was well received by the British music press with NME awarding the album 8/10 and both Mojo & Q Magazines giving the album 4-star reviews.
Courteeners played to a packed out John Peel tent at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival. The summer also saw Courteeners' playing major slots at V Festival,T In The Park, and many other festivals across Europe.

Courteeners also appeared at the 2009 "T In The Park" Festival as second headliners in the King Tut's Wah Wah Tent.
Morrissey has mentioned his love for the Courteeners on numerous occasions. After seeing the Courteeners in Camden, Morrissey played Courteeners song "What Took You So Long" on American radio station KRCW, where he heaped praise on the band saying that "Every song was very strong and full of hooks and full of dynamics and I thought, 'this is great' and that so many groups in England, they're hyped and they're huge and Courteeners're all over the press and Courteeners' don't really actually have any songs, Courteener don't really have anything to offer ... but it's different with The Courteeners, they actually do have very good, strong songs." Morrissey added to his praise that "I think Courteeners' will make it in US and I think you'll come across them." On 30 December it was announced that the Courteeners would be joining Morrissey on his American tour in Spring in support of his new album Years of Refusal.
