"Babyshambles" is the name of a British rock band formed in 2003. The term itself does not have a direct translation in English, as it is a proper noun. If you need information or context about the band, feel free to ask!

Babyshambles was founded in 2004 in London by Peter Doherty after he temporarily parted ways with his band The Libertines. The band quickly became one of the defining acts of British indie rock in the 2000s, making a name for themselves with their raw, unrefined sound that blends punk, rock, and British songwriting tradition. After the reunion of The Libertines in 2014, Babyshambles took a creative break - now the band is returning with new material!

After a twelve-year hiatus, Babyshambles makes a striking comeback: with "Dandy Hooligan," the British cult band led by frontman Peter Doherty presents their first new single in over a decade. The track is characterized by its unmistakable Caribbean sound, combining reggae, ska, and pop elements into a catchy earworm. Lyrically, the song is dedicated to the flamboyantly dressed band associate Bob Morris, who has been active in the anti-fascist scene for years.

Peter Doherty on the new song: "It’s a well turned-out, elegantly crafted; reggae-ska-pop song… with a sweet melody to bowl along to with your sharpened walking cane…. Word from the ‘shambles camp is that it’s a homage to a legendary National Front basher."

"Dandy Hooligan" was recorded in Normandy and Manchester. The production was handled by Mike Moore (Baxter Drury), and the mix was done by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, M.I.A., The Fall) in Sheffield. The accompanying music video was filmed by Roger Sargent in Soho - featuring Bob Morris himself in the lead role.

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary, an expanded and remastered reissue of the debut album "Down In Albion" will also be released through Rough Trade Records. The Anniversary Edition includes session tracks, rarities, and B-sides as a double vinyl in a limited cream-colored pressing.

Babyshambles have released three Top 10 albums: "Down In Albion" (2005), "Shotter’s Nation" (2007), and "Sequel To The Prequel" (2013). Four singles reached the UK Top 10: "Killamangiro," "Fuck Forever," "Albion," and "Delivery."

Babyshambles are: Peter Doherty (vocals, guitar), Mick Whitnall (guitar), Drew McConnell (bass), and Adam Ficek (drums).
