Dirty Pretty Things foi uma banda de rock inglesa liderada por Carl Barât, ex-integrante da banda The Libertines. Didz Hammond anunciou que estava deixando a sua banda Cooper Temple Clause para se juntar à banda, da mesma forma que o ex-baterista dos Libertines Gary Powell e o Guitarrista Anthony Rossmando, que havia substituido Doherty antes que esse saísse definitivamente dos Libertines.
Inicialmente, o nome da banda causou alguns problemas.

BDBDBDA She could never ever ever ever ever ever ever get it into her thick head BDBD So when pretending ends shell have scattered her friends BDA And she’ll find she’ll wake up dead BD There’s no card above receivers BD Still its all so remote BD Behind the bench at the rec A Where she lost fifty notes BD (she says) “I used to have a future BD But now I don’t know BDA Just dependence and repentance and a ready-brek glow”
