Joining Bart was Libertines drummer Gary Powell, guitarist Anthony Rossomando, who039d stood in for Doherty, and former Cooper Temple Clause bassist, Didz Hammond.Leading Waterloo To Anywhere was the infectious UK Top 5 hit Bang Bang You039re Dead better known in recent years as live favourite for The Mighty Olafs, which set the tone for the fabulous collection of rock, punk and ska. Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Dave Sardy and then later in Glasgow with Tony Doogan, the album showed the strength of the group039s writing. Away from the standard highoctane indie of Gin & Milk and You Fcking Love It, The Gentry Cove was particularly captivating, marrying Bart039s fascinating wordplay with robust Clash reggaesea shanty interludes.Two years later, it was all over Bart and Powell rejoined the Libertines and Rossomando later going on to win an Oscar for cowriting Shallow from the film A Star Is Born.
