He told Californian radio station KRCW: "I think they will make it in the US. They were recommended by a friend of mine and I went to see them in Camden, in London. Every song was very strong and full of hooks and full of dynamics and I thought, 'This is great!' "
Morrissey insists the group - who are about to release new single 'That Kiss' on September 29 - are one of the very few new British bands to justify the hype surrounding them.
He added: "So many groups in England, they're hyped and they're huge and they're all over the press and they don't really actually have any songs, they don't really have anything to offer. But it's different with The Courteeners, they actually do have very good, strong songs."
