Born and raised on the island of Guernsey, C O U R A G E H A V E C O U R A G Ebegan writing their bright up-beat brand of energetic, British guitar music in student flats of West London in early 2011. The band received national radio and television coverage before even setting foot on stage together thanks to instant support from Kerrang! Radio and BBC Introducing. Early demos subsequently saw them championed as Alex Baker's, "Featured Artist" on Kerrang! Radio in February 2011, providing a platform for them to burst on to the London live circuit.

In June, C O U R A G E H A V E C O U R A G E completed a successful national tour supporting a self-titled mini album; their exciting and engaging live performances earning them a Main Stage festival slot at Guernsey Festival of Performing Arts, alongside the likes of Frank Turner, The Gaslight Anthem, Ocean Colour Scene, Example and Primal Scream.

The band are already busy writing a new record and following their appearance at Reading & Leeds Festival will be touring the UK again later this year.
