  • Release details
  • Released in 2002, Up the Bracket is a chaotic, electrifying debut that revived the spirit of punk and British rock with reckless swagger and poetic desperation. Produced by Mick Jones of The Clash, the album captures the volatile chemistry between Pete Doherty and Carl Barât—two romantic misfits slinging ragged guitar riffs, raw harmonies, and sharply British tales of love, squalor, and rebellion. Tracks like “Time for Heroes,” “Death on the Stairs,” and the blistering title track turned gutter poetry into anthems. Up the Bracket is messy, glorious, and absolutely essential.

    Reviews

    “One of the greatest British debuts of all time—shambolic, sharp, and soaked in charisma.” — NME

    “Raw energy meets literate songwriting in a record that bleeds authenticity.” — Pitchfork

    “Captures a band teetering on the edge of brilliance and breakdown—and that tension is magic.” — The Guardian

    “A shot of adrenaline to the British rock scene—snotty, romantic, and unforgettable.” — Rolling Stone 

    “Like a punk Dickens novel set to tape—gritty, lyrical, and teeming with life.” — The Quietus
