The Libertines - I Get Along / Whatever (Rough Trade)
release date: June 3 2002
Rough Trade brought you The Strokes, and while they're a bit quiet the label has now unleashed The Libertines.
Inevitable comparisons with The Strokes aside, this is a competent bunch of London punks who clearly know how to get an audience into a frenzy, having already toured with The Strokes and The Vines.
I Get Along is the most fun of the three tracks, calling to mind The Buzzcocks as much as it conjures up the nu-punk renaissance. Great for going mad to.
