A salute to The Libertines!

Celebrating 20 years of The Libertines' debut 'Up The Bracket' with the standout tracks from the album, indie tracks that inspired it & favourites which followed it.

In 2002, Up The Bracket introduced the world to indie superstars The Libertines, a new gang of London bohemians, whose ragged tunes, red military tunics, opiated poetry and β€˜live now pay never’ lifestyle came to define the millennial angst of the early noughties.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut record, this week's Indie Forever celebrates some of the standout tracks from 'Up The Bracket', alongside the indie tracks that inspired it and some fan favourites which followed it.
