Pete Doherty looks adrift and rudderless today as it’s confirmed that Rough Trade records – the label that signed him after he split with his former band The Libertines – have decided against signing up Babyshambles for a second album.
The revered indie label formed off Portobello Road in the 1970’s, and is currently home to the Strokes in the UK. It’s been responsible for launching the careers of The Smiths and The Fall, but A&R staff have reportedly been unable to renegotiate with Doherty and co due to his erratic behaviour. Babyshambles were on a one-album deal, which they signed in early 2005.
