Carl Barat, ex-libertines troubadour and Pete Doherty theft victim, is releasing his first solo single on 4th October titled ‘Run With the Boys’- a topic he’s well versed in.

The single comes from his self-titled debut ‘Carl Barat’ which he is releasing on his own label Arcady Records.

This isn’t the only creative jaunt Barat has ventured on since the split of The Libertines, releasing two albums with Dirty Pretty Things, and also writing a memoir titled ‘Threepenny Memoir’ which journeys through his experiences in The Libertines among others.

‘Carl Barat’ will also be released on October 4th and the book will be available on September 30th for all those die-hard Libertines fans.
