39: Our influences - The Libertines: Gary Powell on what the band were listening to when they recorded Up The Bracket

We were going to ask Gary Powell from The Libertines to name his favourite album from the 00s... but we ended up talking about the music  the band were listening to - and influenced by - when they recorded their debut album Up The Bracket. From the inspiration behind Carl's guitar solos to why a diverse playlist is crucial for artists, Gary gives us an insight into what was on The Libertines stereo back in the day... Remember, you can also catch up with our full chat with Gary about The Libertines in our library, and we'll have a new full-length episode with another 00s indie star landing on Saturday.
