The Libertines!
 

WAHOOOOO! These guys ROCK! They've got a great pop sense of humor like The Kinks, a punk melody style like The Clash, and some pretty entertaining lyrics, to boot. I think they're kind of a British version of The Strokes, all retro cool and the like.

I wanna play guitar for the Libertines.

The SAD thing, though, is Pete, the singer/guitar player is a dope fiend. Maybe there'll be an opening, huh?

If you haven't heard them, give them a listen.

Over.

and your link to <strike>encourage</strike> make it easy for us to "give them a listen" is where?

I'd put money on that you could probably find them on MySpace, or Purevolume

The Libertines are FREAKIN' Awesome - I totally dig them. It is unfortunate about Pete... but they still rock.

Ohh! thanks for the link. Opinion of my soon-to-be-14 year old son: "They're pretty good. They just need some more practice." ---!!!!!

He's kind of a music jerk. like, a music SNOB. He drives me nuts.

Anyway, I liked them.
