The Libertines

UK indie/garage; Can’t Stand Me Now is the dual-vocal single.

Formed 1997. Early Rough Trade releases and Mick Jones production put raw dual vocals, loose drums, and music-hall lyric references on the post-Strokes UK map. Can’t Stand Me Now (2004) is the listed track. Career interruptions and tabloid coverage are part of the public record; musically they export urgency and song craft over polish.
