Babyshambles Lock In Release Date For Third Album

Just a month after making their first ever visit to our shores for Splendour In The Grass and a series of sideshows, UK indie heroes Babyshambles will finally drop their third LP Sequel To The Prequel, it was announced today.

There has been a fair amount of talk about the album over the past couple of months, as the band open up a little about recording sessions in Paris and there are thousands of hungry fans eagerly awaiting its release. It has been six years since the band last released an album, though as Pete Doherty told NME last week “Babyshambles aren't back, this band has always been here.”

We're certainly hoping this means the new material is as good as what came before and we'll no doubt be privy to plenty of it when the band hit Australia at the end of this month.

Sequel To The Prequel is out through Warner on Friday 30 August.
