B-Shambles has pretty much lifted The Libertines schtick, haven't they? I've only heard the one song in rotation, and it sounded dangerously close to Track 2 on The Libertines s/t release. I was more disgusted than disappointed. I think if you snort Ritalin, Baby Shambles might be your cup of lube.
i think that the lead dude of
babyshambles was kicked out of the libertines for either being a crackhead or shagging some anorexic skank, one or the other.
Pete Doherty Charged With Robbery

Rock singer Pete Doherty, the former frontman of The Libertines, has been charged with robbery and blackmail, police said Friday.
The 25-year-old musician was arrested Wednesday after a reported fracas at a London hotel. He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court Friday and was granted bail on condition he post a $280,000 bond, observe a 10 p.m. curfew and not leave his home without security accompaniment.
Doherty's lawyer, Sean Curran, said the singer would spend the weekend in jail because the bond money could not be raised immediately.
Another musician, Alan Wass, 23, was charged with the same offenses and also was granted bail. Wass is a guitarist with rock band Lefthand.
Doherty's spokesman, Tony Linkin, said the singer was arrested over allegations he assaulted filmmaker Max Carlish, who was making a documentary about Doherty's new group, Babyshambles.
Carlish was quoted as telling British media that he sold pictures of Doherty taking heroin to a Sunday newspaper. He said Doherty assaulted him in a hotel after he refused to give the singer money.
Curran said both men "ferociously deny the allegations against them" and were confident they would be found innocent.
Doherty, who is widely reported to be dating supermodel Kate Moss, was kicked out of The Libertines after failing to curb his publicly acknowledged drug problems.
Britain's celebrity-obsessed media follow Moss' love-life with close attention. Doherty has come under intense newspaper scrutiny since reports emerged about a week ago that he was involved with the model.
