Babyshambles - Sequel To The Prequel

A lot has happened in the world of Pete Doherty in the six years since Babyshambles’ last record ‘Shotter’s Nation’ – a solo album, a Libertines reformation and disintegration, a high profile split with Kate Moss, incarceration in Wormwood Scrubs, the tragic death of Amy Winehouse, a film role and finally an exile to Paris.

When reports trickled out that Babyshambles were back in the studio earlier this year, there was a general feeling that if this wasn’t yet another false start it would certainly be an important album in the Peter Doherty canon. On being offered one of the very first listens to ‘Sequel to the Prequel’, Louder Than War sent Fergal Kinney to give his first thoughts on the record.
