COURTNAY
& THE UNHOLY REVERIE

Dirty rock from Taranaki, New Zealand.

From New Zealand’s Taranaki, Courtnay & The Unholy Reverie conjure a sound where southern gothic storytelling meets desert fuzz and droning blues revival. Live, they’re a sermon. On record, they haunt.

Courtnay & The Unholy Reverie are a female fronted swamp blues/rock band from New Zealand, blending towering guitars, dark atmosphere and blistering vocals with a distinctly heavy edge. 
With multiple NZ Hot Singles Top 20 appearances, national radio recognition and a rapidly growing live résumé alongside some of New Zealand's most established alternative acts, CATUR have built their reputation where it matters most… On stage!

- Top 20 NZ Hot Singles for “Mercy” and “Lost at Sea”
- 2x The Listener Song of the Week for “Lost at Sea” and “Hellbent Heaven Sent”

"My lord this woman has a voice (and delivery, not always the same!) Helluva guitarist on prior evidence but here also showcasing a songwriter of great sensitivity." - Graham Reid Elsewhere

"The different styles in songs, huge instrumentals, and range of Courtnay’s vocals in each track make Mercy a truly impressive, quirky listen that I can’t get enough of, and it is definitely one of my top releases of 2024." - Ayla Chaimberlain Muzic.net.nz

"Unearthly. And two hundred and fifty percent suited to swamp blues delivered in the completely captivating style they have hit upon. Personally I think this is f***ing phenomenal, and the band has kicked off into the stratosphere" - Jack Flash-Trax
