Pete Doherty and his Babyshambles mates have signed a long-term deal with Parlophone. The band released their “Blinding” EP on the label’s Regal imprint late last year and now the rockers have gone the whole hog and signed to record an unspecified amount of albums. In a statement the band’s management said: “Both the management and the band are thrilled to have signed this deal and look forward to a long, fruitful, and creative relationship with Parlophone.” The label has previously been home to Radiohead, Coldplay and Blur amongst others and hopefully the deal will help Pete to write some decent tunes again.
