The Libertines have shared a new single dubbed "quite possibly the most Libertines single ever".

The indie earworm, entitled Oh S*** is taken from their long-awaited new album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade, which is released on 5th April 2024.

Oh Shit

Written by Peter Doherty and Carl Barât, Oh S*** is the fourth single to be taken from the record, following previously released tracks Run, Run, Run, Night of The Hunter and Shiver- the video for which sees the band (completed by John Hassall and Gary Powell) take part in a funeral procession for a Pearly King.

"There's something about the sea," Doherty told Radio X when asked about playing on Brighton beach for the first time. "There's a calling to it. We're an island nation, aren't we?"

Turning to his Libertines colleague, Pete recalled: "Do you remember the times in Camden, at the end of the night, it'd be two or three in the morning, when we were like 18, 19, and I had my little van? One time we drove down to Brighton."

Barât replied: "There's always that sort of innate attraction to those bodies of water."
