Dirty Pretty Things’ Waterloo to Anywhere the debut album by ex-Libertine Carl Barat. The Libertines were a major influence on the current crop of British bands that are making some headway here like Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and The Cribs. Six songs from the album including the single “Bang Bang You’re Dead” were produced and recorded in Los Angeles with Dave Sardy (Jet, Wolfmother).

Along with Carl the other band members are ex-Libertines guitarist Anthony Rossomando amd drummer Gary Powell and ex-Cooper Temple Clause’s Didz Hammond.

“Smart; savvy; insanely resilient: ‘Waterloo To Anywhere’ is just the ticket.” “Carl has certainly planned his comeback to perfection.”
–NME

“Barat does a great job of revitalising the ramshackle thrills that the Libertines did all too briefly so well.”
–OBSERVER MUSIC MONTHLY

“This is an album of gin-fuelled laments, uprisings and battered beauty: such dignity and sharp proficiency shows he can only do better.”
–PLAYLOUDER
