  • The Libertines are a band of out-of-work Royal Marines who, aside from single-handedly defeating Napoleon Bonaparte during World War I, invented music and young people. Formed in London in the new millennium, if you count it starting in 1997, they were the archetypal British Nationalist band of the post-Britpop-NME-buoyed-nonsense-guitar-haircut-trouser-rock movement. They are acclaimed for having written two albums, one good and the other one good too, and both a lot better than The Strokes. The band are also known as the four keepers of the NME.

The band, centred on the songwriting partnership of Barat and Doherty, also included John Hassall (bass) and Gary Powell (drums) for most of its recording career. The band was part of the garage rock revival and spearheaded the movement in the UK.

  • The Libertines are a band of out-of-work Royal Marines who, aside from single-handedly defeating Napoleon Bonaparte during World War I, invented music and young people. Formed in London in the new millennium, if you count it starting in 1997, they were the archetypal British Nationalist band of the post-Britpop-NME-buoyed-nonsense-guitar-haircut-trouser-rock movement. They are acclaimed for having written two albums, one good and the other one good too, and both a lot better than The Strokes. The band are also known as the four keepers of the NME. Their first release garnered critical acclaim from up-and-coming comic/tabloid/erotic magazine for indie kids NME, who hailed them as the future of the universe and the saviours of the Church and the State, the undying united brethren and "quite simply, the greatest thing ever". The band split up three days before their debut release, with lead singers Pete Doherty and the other one pursuing solo projects. Doherty has faced criticism due to his numerous arrests, substance preferences and bad taste in coffee-guzzling-cocaine-inhaling-thinner-than-wafer-thin-it's-almost-paper-thin women. Little is known about the band's "music".
  • The Libertines were an English rock band, formed in London in 1997 by frontmen Carl Barât (vocals/guitar) and Pete Doherty (vocals/guitar). The band, centred on the songwriting partnership of Barat and Doherty, also included John Hassall (bass) and Gary Powell (drums) for most of its recording career. The band was part of the garage rock revival and spearheaded the movement in the UK. The band gained some notoriety in the early 2000s. Although their mainstream success was initially limited, their profile soon grew, culminating in a No. 2 single and No. 1 album on the UKCharts. In December 2004, their self-titled second album was voted the second best album of the year by NME magazine. Both of their full-length LPs were produced by Mick Jones, of the British punk band The Clash. In spite of their critical success as well as decent commercial success, the band's music was often eclipsed by its internal conflicts, stemming from Doherty's addictions to crack cocaineand heroin, which eventually led to the breakup of the band. Doherty has since stated that the breakup of the band was due to relationship difficulties between Barât and himself that were not related to his drug addictions. The members of The Libertines went on to form new bands with varying degrees of commercial and critical success. In August 2010, the four members of The Libertines reunited to play a series of shows, including slots at the 2010 Reading and Leeds Festivals. The reunion shows received a highly positive response from the press and fans.
