Up The Bracket / Boys In The Band by The Libertines

Up The Bracket / Boys In The Band is a Rock album by The Libertines, originally released in 2002. On Gatefold: 6 pressings tracked.

About

As The Strokes and White Stripes were importing stateside garage-rock grit to the UK in 2002, <i>Up the Bracket</i> channeled raucous British raconteurs like The Kinks and The Jam to mobilize a new generation of mouthy wasters. From the tetchy title track to the tipsy “Boys in the Band,” The Libertines are the pub-stool prophets who want to confront you one moment and put you in a loving headlock the next—all while charming you into buying their next drink.
