The Libertines was the leading band in the UK garage rock revival, but they called it quits after a very short career, leaving singer / guitarist / songwriter Peter Doherty free to form the Babyshambles in 2004. Their two albums to date display Pete’s unique brand of British poetic punk rock and the Rickenbacker-thrashing guitars of his sparring partner Mick Whitnall. Given the self-destructive nature of its leader, no one knows what the future holds for the ‘shambles, but they probably have a lot left to say.
