amazing british band who wear red english millitary jackets, headed by a sleazy sexgod and a delerious yet completely lovely crackhead poet. with a kickass drummer and skinny cute bassist that shows no emotion whatsoever. who are into union jack, smoking, girls, secret rooftop gigs,and refrences to herion. who have millions of annoying artsy british teenage girl fans.

Get the The Libertines mug.
Ostensibly an English band comprised of four members but only two are ever seen: look up Carlos Barat and Pete Doherty. They sail on the Albion towards Arcadia on their quest to save rock n'roll. They used to hustle.
My name is John and I'm in the Libertines; get a microscope.

NME Magazines 'answer to The Strokes,but they're british,they have fitter members and better music on a whole' Pete Doherty is going out with kate moss.Caros Barat is hanging around with confused looking indie B-Listers.John Hassall has his own band Yeti(quite good actually) and Gary?....
Good Question what is Gary doing at the mo?.....

A wonderful British band troubled by drugs and alcohol usage.

Favoured by Mick Jones of The Clash.

Two members are homogay*

One amazing drummer.

And a bassist who hardly ever smiles.
