About
Seven key vinyl releases including 2002's Up The Bracket and 2024's new album, with original Rough Trade pressings prized by collectors.
The Libertines emerged from London's indie scene in 1997, initiated by Carl Barât and Pete Doherty. The band quickly became known for a raw, garage-inflected sound that straddled punk and Brit pop influences. Early work was less punk and more melodic but evolved sharply after signing with Rough Trade in 2001. Their debut album, Up The Bracket (2002), produced by Mick Jones, former member of The Clash, provided energetic, concise indie rock tracks driven by compelling storytelling and youthful defiance. Subsequent releases include their self-titled 2004 album crafted almost live in the studio and the 2015 comeback Anthems For Doomed Youth. A notable 20th Anniversary edition of Up The Bracket was issued in 2022.
