Babyshambles Unveil Bizarre Album Title

Is it a homage to drugs?...

Share

Babyshambles have unveiled the name of their highly anticipated second album – it’s called ‘Shotter’s Nation.’

The album had tentatively gone by the name of ‘French Dog Blues’, but it seems Doherty and co. changed their mind at the eleventh hour.

Quite what a ‘shotter’ is, we didn’t have a clue until five minutes ago. A quick type into Urban Dictionary later and it’s a drug dealer apparently. Obviously we’re not street enough for dem boys.

The record has been produced by Stephen Street and will be released through Parlophone Records on October 1. It's will be preceded by the single ‘Delivery’ a fortnight earlier.

Across its three formats, ‘Delivery’ will be backed by new tracks ‘Stone Me’, ‘I Wish’, ‘A Day Out In New Brighton’ and ‘Torn.’

The track-listing is as follows:

Carry On Up The Morning
Delivery
You Talk
Unbilotitled
Side Of The Road
Crumb Begging
Unstookietitled
French Dog Blues
There She Goes
Baddies' Boogie
Deft Left Hand
The Lost Art Of Murder

The band also go on tour this winter. To get your hands on tickets, just click the link below.

  • Fucking awful, why didn’t they just stick with French Dog Blues? So much for ’not being about the drugs’.

  • I know the drummer from Baby Shambles and he says the title has hidden meaning! So who knows, it might be revealed when you listen.

  • Babyshambles is the most important band in rock. The Blinding EP is hit and miss but Down in Albion is a masterpiece with quintessential tracks like ’Pipe Down’ and ’8 Dead Boys’. Lead guitarist Patrick Walden is stand-out but truth be told, all of those guys are brilliant players.
