The Libertines have unveiled the band's first song for 11 years, after the announcement of their third album Anthems For Doomed Youth

It aired for the first time on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last night, with Pete and Carl appearing on the show and explaining that the lead single is taken from a Rudyard Kipling poem. 

Raw elements of The Libertines we once knew are matched by lax grooves and an invigorating melody triggered by flashy guitar riffs. The video (above) features the boys strolling Thailand's infamous red light district - how good is it to see them back? 

Anthems For Doomed Youth is out 4th September.
