Last night The Libertines unleashed their first single in 11 years, "Gunga Din", based on the Rudyard Kipling poem of the same name.
It follows the announcement earlier this week that they're set to release Anthems For Doomed Youth, their first record since 2004's self-titled LP later this year.
The video was directed by the band's longtime photographer Roger Sargent, and it follows Carl Barat, Pete Doherty, John Hassall and Gary Powell around Thailand night.
Anthems For Doomed Youth is out 4 September on Harvest Records.
Watch/listen to "Gunga Din" below.
