Up the Bracket is the debut album by English indie rock band The Libertines, released in October 2002. It reached #35 in the UK Albums Chart. The album was part of a resurgence for the British indie/alternative scene[citation needed] and received widespread praise from critics and has quickly become considered one of the greatest albums of the 2000s.[1]

The album's cover is based on an image of riot police squaring up to protesters during the Argentine economic crisis of 1999–2002.[2]
