10 Best Debut Albums From Indie Bands

The Libertines were pioneers in the indie-rock revival of the early 2000s, their debut album Up The Bracket is pure high energy indie rock from start to finish (with Radio America being the calming break in the middle). The band focuses on their instruments with little need for synths or added instrumental elements, it's just the band members their guitars, drums and voices.

The Libertines were well know for being one of the last bands to live the true rock and roll lifestyle. This album emulates this with its sharp guitar, fast paced drums and energetic choruses, its music that gets you feeling excited and anarchistic. The Libertines were integral to the revival of indie music, sticking to physical instruments and hard hitting songs, in a time when the charts were dominated by squeaky clean pop groups with computerised songs.

Up The Bracket is an album that still holds a beloved place in the music collections of many indie fans, the songs feel timeless and still sound as good on the hundredth listen as they did on the first listen. The band is beloved by many indie/ indie rock fans. They've managed to keep their audience captivated for years, headlining big festivals and touring a solid decade after they first burst onto the scene. Up The Bracket was the worlds introduction to the chaos that The Libertines would bring to the music scene in the years to come.
