As British garage rockers The Libertines went up in flames in 2004, Babyshambles rose from the ashes to inherit their pop-tinged–punk mantle and chaos-fueled legacy. Fronted by tumultuous lead singer Pete Doherty, Babyshambles released their explosive self-titled debut 7-inch in April 2004 and quickly sold out a UK tour, but Doherty’s erratic behavior led to many canceled dates, nearly sparking a fan riot after a no-show in London. Despite Doherty’s penchant for self-destruction, Babyshambles went to the studio with The Clash’s Mick Jones, releasing the gloriously messy, often poetic Down in Albion in 2005, complete with backing vocals from the singer's then-girlfriend Kate Moss. A follow-up EP came in 2006, and the more sharply focused full-length Shotter's Nation came in 2007, reminding fans that Doherty was an artist before he was a tabloid headline. Babyshambles were put on hold as The Libertines reformed in 2010, but eventually returned to the studio to create 2013’s ambitious and mature Sequel to the Prequel.
Members of Babyshambles include, or have included, Peter Doherty, Danny Goffey, Jamie Morrison and more.
