• Junk Mail: The Libertines 'Anthems for Doomed Youth' Album Review

    The Libertines brought that familiar blend in to Anthems for Doomed Youth, doing what they did best just doing it 11 years later. This album felt like magnificent continuity in to what Up the Bracket and The Libertines established all those years ago. While age may have not been the best remedy for Barat and Doherty's vocals, their chemistry is still palpable and just there's nothing better out there. Will this be remembered as a classic like The Libertines? Probably not. But we're damn lucky to have this album.

Issues and disagreements caused the band to go on a lengthy hiatus following 2004's self-titled record.

  • Kanye West's Glastonbury Performance Inspires 10 Headlines on NME.com

    Music publications can be accused of lingering on one subject for way too long. Music Times is just as guilty as any. British publications typically go nuts during the weekend of Glastonbury, arguably the world's most-hyped music festival. The 2015 version of events has set a new absurd high as music writers obsess over every breath Kanye West took during his much-ballyhooed set. So much so that ten different headlines at NME published on Sunday featured the words "Kanye West" in their headlines...plus another two or three where West was the main image for the article.

  • Ukraine and 5 Other (Band) Situations Bound to Fall Apart: The Wu-Tang Clan, The Libertines and Everything Scott Weiland

    Good news out of Eastern Europe today, as a group of the continent's leaders announced that a ceasefire had been reached between the government of Ukraine and the rebellious faction in the southeast of the country. You can probably hedge bets that shots will be fired soon enough however. After all, the last time the parties arrived at a ceasefire (September of 2014), it had collapsed by the end of the year. Other things that won't be surprising when they collapse: The reunions of these beloved bands.
