Babyshambles is an English indie rock band that was formed by singer/songwriter Pete Dohorety in 2002, when his other band, The Libertines, was taking a hiatus. Though the group was started as somewhat of a side project for Dohorety, Babyshambles has since grown into his primary music project. The band's first LP, 2005's Down in Albion, managed to latch on to a uniquely modern garage rock sound that resonated well with listeners who tend to enjoy flippantly stylish guitar-based songs. The band has since maintained a choppy recording and touring schedule, helping provide the band with somewhat of a reclusive reputation.
