Cooking Vinyl inaugurates Carl Barat And The Jackals into its bosom
By Aly Barchi | Published on Friday 22 August 2014
Carl Barat And The Jackals, the band Carl Barat is in charge of that isn’t The Libertines, are going places, and have signed a deal with Cooking Vinyl Records to facilitate the ‘going places’ plan.
Whilst it extends to the entire planet Earth (except North America, so not entirely “entire”), and to a feted first CB+TJ single, it won’t apply to any of the Libertines releases past or present, nor to any of Barat’s other one-time band Dirty Pretty Things, nor to his solo work. And that’s final.
Carl says: “The Jackals and I are honoured to be inaugurated into the bosom of the Cooking Vinyl clan”.
Cooking Vinyl Director Rob Collins, adds: “It’s an honour to have Carl on the label. He’s a fantastic writer and a top bloke to boot! With the Jackals in tow he’ll kill it live just as he does with the Libertines”.
Barat composed The Jackals having first put out a public call for applicants online. Individually, the band, who had to audition for places, are guitarist Billy Tessio, bassist Adam Claxton and drummer Jay Bone.
