The Libertines release a fabulous new single (quite possibly the most Libertines single ever!) on Wednesday 6th March. Entitled Oh Shit it is an earworm anthem for these economically challenging times and is taken from their eagerly awaited new album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade which hits the streets on April 5th.
Written by Carl Barat and Peter Doherty, Oh Shit is the fourth single to be lifted from All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade, following the release of Run, Run, Run, Night Of The Hunter and Shiver.
The Libertines’ UK/IRELAND tour all but sold out within hours of being announced - faster than any previous tours in their history – which nails the lie that no-one wants to see bands live anymore. To cater for the unprecedented demand, a third and final night has been added at Manchester’s Albert Hall on Saturday 9th November.
