Artist: The Libertines

The masters of high energy, foot stomping, garage punk riot music THE HIVES came to prominence in the early 20002s as one of the faces of the 'Rock Revival'.  THE HIVES are a band that have managed what many of the bands of that time have not, that being longevity, which is in many cases a testament to their 2004 release Tyrannosaurus Hives. Why? Well because it's that coveted release which manages to be better than [...]

Austin Osman Spare 1955

He went to Whelans straight after his shift in the care home. He found Phelim and The Kev sitting at the table next to the open fire. The reflection of the flames twisted and glimmered over their pints of Smithwicks. Barry fancied he had never seen a more welcoming scene in his life. “The Magtail,” shouted Phelim. “Clocked off and ready to buy for the dole monkeys.” “You’re lucky tonight. Because I am very happy to see the pair of you,” said Barry. He unzipped his parka and hung it over a chair, feeling his muscles and his thoughts turn [...]

• The Libertines - Up The Bracket

Hace algunos meses Beck anunció que su nuevo disco, Song Reader , no sería lanzado en ninguno de los formatos comunes como vinil, CD or MP3, sino que lo presentaría como partituras sin grabar. Para escuchar el material, básicamente uno mismo tendría que tocar las canciones. El día de hoy, Rough Trade anunció que, junto a Faber Social y Heavenly Music Services, presentarán la premiere del álbum en el Reino Unido con una selección de canciones de Song Reader interpretadas por Carl Barat (ex-Libertine), Steve Mason (de The Beta Band), Liela Moss (de The Duke [...]

Vocal dance may not be everyone's cup of tea, but Niia is definitely worth a listen. Originally broken into the scene on the track 'Sweetest Girl' with Wyclef, Akon, and Lil Wayne, the innocent vocalist sneaks into the dance world with this lounge ballad. The tune starts off almost R&B until refreshingly changing to a steady beating drum harmonizing with her soft voice. The anticipated video for this track is directed by Tony Kaye, the mastermind behind racy film 'American History X'. That video is sure to turn some heads so look out for it's release soon. In the meantime, [...]

• niia - Libertine Hero

Holy crap. That was fast. This month marks the tenth anniversary of Up The Bracket , the outstanding debut record from English rock band The Libertines . If you looked up "squandered potential" in the dictionary, you might just end up seeing a picture of Pete Doherty, Carl Barat and company. I can't recall another band in the past decade that had so much going for them and some how self destructed into self parody the way the Libertines did (even if it was mostly one person) I could go into detail [...]

10 Years On, NME is still having a cumfest with the LIBERTINES , puts them on the cover of their new issue, on stands and in your hands tomorrow. Tribute covermount CD included.

Rumors of a Smiths reunion ruled the Internet for the past week — apparently someone at Coachella has had the genius idea of luring Morrissey with the offer to make the festival 100% vegetarian if the Smiths played. But, of course, it's not going to happen , which is probably for the best. While the idea of being able to finally see one of the best bands of the '80s playing live is definitely an appealing one, we're still not entirely sure how we'd feel if the impossible did come to pass. Honestly, we can't see it [...]

Após ser expulso da reabilitação na Tailândia no mês passado por ser “má influência” para outros pacientes, Pete Doherty voltou à Paris e convidou Carl Barat para trabalhar em novas músicas. No programa de tv online Hernu & Harris Unhinged, Doherty disse “Falei com Carl ontem e ele vêm à Paris. Depois, quem sabe, voltamos à Tailândia juntos e escrevemos algumas músicas”.
