The Libertines have shared a rowdy new single titled ‘Oh Shit’ – check it out below.Released today (March 6), the track comes as the latest single to be released from the indie veterans’ upcoming album ‘All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade’ – following on from ‘Run, Run, Run’, ‘Night Of The Hunter’ and ‘Shiver’.Written by Carl Barat and Pete Doherty, the song is quintessentially The Libertines from start to end and sees the members create an earworm anthem, which pumps a much-needed dose of energy into increasingly difficult times.Made to be played live, the track kicks in with an upbeat, high-energy guitar riff, before the frontman opens with the line “Imo loves the feeling of rolling in the sun/ Rolling in the oceans/ she rolls until she’s numb.”“And she went/ Oh shit, oh shit/ Let’s make some money/ Just enough to get us by,” he sings in the anthemic chorus. “I want you when you smile/ You got the dollars in your eyes.”Set for release on April 5, The Libertines first announced news of their new album – which is the long-mooted follow-up to 2015’s ‘Anthems For Doomed Youth’ – back in October by dropping the lead single ‘Run, Run, Run’.

It just so happens that at this moment, we’re all facing the same direction,” said Barat.“There’s been a lot of focus and everyone’s been working on finding their own personal place in the world as well.
