The Courettes
High-octane garage rock that fuses the grit of 60s punk with the sugary melodies of girl groups. Raw, analog, and built to shake the room.

The Courettes are a Danish-Brazilian duo consisting of Flavia Couri and Martin Couri, whose sound is a meticulous reconstruction of 1960s garage rock and girl-group pop. Formed in 2015, the band has carved out a niche by utilizing vintage recording techniques, including sessions at the legendary Toe Rag Studios and their own analog facility.
Their sound identity is defined by Flavia's fuzz-heavy guitar work and Martin's explosive drumming, often augmented by tambourines and Farfisa-style organ. Critically, they are praised for their 'Back in Mono' production style, which eschews modern stereo separation for a dense, punchy, and cohesive sonic wall. Positioned within the lineage of the Detroit Cobras and Thee Headcoats, they bridge the gap between the European garage scene and the soulful roots of American rock and roll. Their evolution has seen them move from the 'elemental' garage punk of their debut to a more sophisticated, 'musical' approach that incorporates orchestral pop flourishes without sacrificing their foundational grit.
