English legendary rock band The Libertines have announced their plan to premier a series of never-seen-before videos during our lockdown time. First off, the band shared a demo of a track called “7 Deadly Frenchman“. Watch the video below.
The “Can’t Stand Me Now” group took to Twitter, giving out their current offering to help everyone in quarantine—on an entertainment aspect. “We’ve decided to share a series of videos over the coming weeks to entertain household fans – some you may have see or heard before, plus some exclusives.”

“7 Deadly Frenchman (Legs 11 Demo)” is a one-minute instrumental track that took us to the good old days when garage rock music reached its peak. The video also features the image of the co-frontmen Pete Doherty and Carl Barât smiling side by side, which would definitely melt all the Libertines’ fans.
Elsewhere, drummer Gary Powell just joined other indie superstars in the cover of “Chasing Rainbows” by Shed Seven. The line-up includes Matt Bowman from The Pigeon Detectives and Barry ‘Baz’ Fratelli from The Fratellis, with BBC Radio 6 DJ Mark Radcliffe and Virgin Radio presenter Eddy Temple-Morris accompanying the singing.
The “Chasing Rainbows” cover is aimed to raise money for the NHS, while the viewers of the track are kindly asked to donate for The North Midlands Charity as well. Read the full story here.
Last year, the four-piece went on the road in the UK for their extremely successful tour, including two sold-out shows at O2 Academy Brixton, London. They have reunited in 2015 for the third studio album ‘Anthems for Doomed Youth‘ after disbanding in 2004. The album was well-received commercially and critically, spawning singles like “Gunga Din“, “Glasgow Coma Scale Blues“, and “You’re My Waterloo“.
