 The album seems recorded in a rehearsal room and immediately offers a listening immediacy and communicative effectiveness in perfect rock'n'roll style.

 A debut album that establishes them as the new English 'next big thing.'

Released in 2002, 'Up The Bracket' by The Libertines emerged as a defining debut album within the early 2000s British rock scene. Produced by Mick Jones of The Clash, its raw, rehearsal-room sound delivers immediacy and strong rock'n'roll spirit. Highlights include tracks like 'Death on the Stairs' and 'Time for Heroes,' showcasing contrasting vocal styles. The album secures The Libertines as the new promising English rock band of their era. Listen to 'Up The Bracket' and experience The Libertines' raw rock energy firsthand!

 The album opens with the perfect single "Junk of the Heart (Happy)", you listen to it twice, you sing it all week.

 The brilliant closing with "Mr Nice Guy" with a tribute (or perhaps plagiarism?) to the Beatles’ "Twist and Shout" leave us imagining a future marked by continuity but perhaps with a hint of modernity.

Junk of the Heart marks a return to form for The Kooks after a weaker second album. Produced by Tony Hoffer, the album features polished, retro-inspired melodies and strong vocal performances by Luke Pritchard. Standout tracks like "Junk of the Heart (Happy)" and "Time Above The Earth" showcase the band's catchy yet sophisticated style. The album closes with a blend of classic pop-rock and a modern twist, hinting at the band's evolving sound. Listen to The Kooks' Junk of the Heart for a polished retro pop-rock experience that blends catchy melodies with modern flair.
