Babyshambles — Shotter's Nation

By Angela Kozak (CHARTattack) October 23, 2007 2:04 pm
In the two years since the release of Babyshambles' debut album, Pete Doherty has romanced supermodels, consumed countless drug cocktails and bounced in and out of British law courts.

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) December 19, 2006 10:06 am
Wow, ChartAttack sure railed on Pete Doherty a lot this year. But I don't think for a second the guy didn't deserve it.

Down In Albion was full of charming snotty punk that couldn't be faked. Doherty's drugged out drawl...

Normally, writing that a former member of The Libertines and a member of Babyshambles were getting together to record would lead people to either think we were talking about Carl Barat and Pete Doherty reuniting once and for all in the studio. But that's not happening, folks, so keep dreaming.Former Libertines member Carl Barat is working with...

Has anyone noticed that Pete Doherty is looking a tad "healthy" these days? I guess I can't really diss his beefed-up look too much. It's better than the skeezed-out, sweaty junkie look he's had since his final days with The Libertines. Anyway, Doherty's band Babyshambles are taking another stab at respectability with Shotter's Nation,...

Pete Doherty must have some sort of portable micro-studio that he can take to court, jail and rehabilitation facilities to record himself. How else would the singer find the time to lay down five tracks for Babyshambles' new The Blinding EP?
