The Libertines
The Libertines joined the pop fray of 2002, competing with the likes of the Strokes, Hives, Vines, and Doves with their debut single, "What a Waster." The Bernard Butler-produced track entered the U.K.'s Top 40 in June, leaving NME to crown the Libertines as the best new band in Britain. The double-A-side song "I Get Along" earned Single of the Week on BBC Radio 1. The London-based band, who inked a deal with Rough Trade in December 2001, features Carl Barat (guitar/vocals), Pete Doherty (guitar/vocals), John Hassall (bass), and {$G...[more]

The Libertines, for those who don't know yet, make music, art, poetry, love, war, and airfix models. Primarily, though, they're known for their music -- which is brilliant. They're a beautiful and wildly compressed version of all the great British groups of all time: The Clash, The Jam, The Smiths, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, The Small Faces, and Chas & Dave. And you'll find all this insane talent on "The Libertines," a totally wired, off-its-face magical record. As The Clash's Mick Jones said, "A record as g [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. The first British band to rival the garage rock revival sparked by the Strokes and White Stripes in the U.S., the Hives in Sweden, and the Datsuns in, er, New Zealand, the Libertines burst onto the scene with Up the Bracket, a debut album so confident and consistent that the easiest way to describe it is 2002's answer to Is This It? That's not just because singer/guitarist Pete Doherty's slurred, husky vocals sound like Julian Casablancas', (with the added bonus of a fetching Coc [ read more ]

In the late nineties in the East London squat scene, Peter Doherty and Carl Barat met and bonded over music and a common romanticism. They resolved to form a band with a name that reflected their attitude. The Libertines are born. They sing and play and live this life that sits in the previously unexplored point halfway between the urban assault of The Clash and the arch romanticism of The Smiths. This already-getting-huge-press single features the album track, 'Can't Stand Me Now,' plus 'Never Never' and ' [ read more ]
