Great Intro to a Great Band
I'd read about their guerrilla concerts and their lack of interest in signing with a big corporate label. This CD was my intro to the Libertines. They weren't exactly a household word in SF, but I figured they were worth a few bucks for a five-song EP.

The recording faced heavy competition -- my CD player has been dominated by PJ Harvey and Radiohead lately. But the Libertines held their own.

The music explodes out of the speakers, combinging the charm of the early Beatles with the power of the Clash and the Sex Pistols. Like the latter, the Libertines careen along the edge of musical disaster, always on the edge of a most un-musical breakdown. But in these five recordings, they mostly dodge disaster and pull off some of the wildest rock and roll ever.

This EP is available used for rock-bottom prices -- no excuse to miss it.

Knockout EP
I'd read about their guerrilla concerts and their lack of interest in signing with a big corporate label. This CD was my intro to the Libertines. They weren't exactly a household word in SF, but I figured they were worth a few bucks for a five-song EP.

The recording faced heavy competition -- my CD player has been dominated by PJ Harvey and Radiohead lately. But the Libertines held their own.

I haven't tracked the words on the EP -- it's the music that hooked me. It explodes out of the speakers. Like the Sex Pistols or the early Grateful Dead, the Libertines careen along the edge of musical disaster, always on the edge of a most un-musical breakdown. But in these five recordings, they dodge disaster and pull off some of the wildest rock and roll ever.

This EP is available used for rock-bottom prices -- no excuse to miss it.


mayday!
the production is unique and full of little audio surprises (which kind of remind me of that underground lo-fi band Beatnik Filmstars), and these songs have a well written and well performed quality. although i hated The Libertines second album (first one was ok), this little ep is a nice slab of their shambolic, messy, upbeat Clash-lite style of punk. it always amazes me how totally drunk and trashed that The Libertines sound on record. makes me wonder how much a mess it must really be to witness the band live in all their ragged glory. pretty cool.


A sampler of songs
I had heard of the Libertines through friends and downloaded one song, which I fell in love with. I bought this awhile back. This cd has 5 great songs on it. It's great way to be introduced to this band. The songs are clever and memorable and will have you singing along. But that doesn't mean this band doesn't rock hard.
