The Libertines have had a tough time during the past couple of years. After breaking out with their first song, What a Waster, they quickly descended into a Behind the Music-like hell when their frontman Pete Doherty became a heavy drug addict, nearly causing the breakup of the band.

But that's all behind them now, and they're releasing their latest self-titled album and it's their best one yet. I got a chance to talk with Libertines drummer Gary Powell.

The Libertines are the best British band since the Smiths...IMHO the best band anywhere since the Smiths...and they are possibly better than The Smiths. I defy anyone not to go into a delerium of raucous joy on hearing "I Get Along".

The Libertines rock my socks. I've got a live performance of Can't Stand Me now if anyone wants it (albeit the audio isn't stellar), just use the Contact tab.

It's ironic that my ex from high school to the time I got out of the Army is called Katie.

Hey I just saw the Libertines a week or 2 ago at the 9:30 club in DC. They kicked ass. The best thing about the show was that they had half the crowd up on stage with them. There show was stink'in great. I hope they come back to town... there sound is original and inspiring....and there dead sexy.
