Carl Barat stopped by to talk to Zane of BBC Radio One the other day.

When asked if The Libertines listen to their music once it’s recorded in the studios, Carl had the follwoing to say. “Well, funnily enough not really. It normally gets better when we play it live cos it’s always quite embryonic in the studio.”

And if there is still a bright future with or without Pete, he said “Both Peter and I are fervently for not giving up. Whatever happens I’m gonna do my best to keep it together.”
