Pete Doherty heads to Lily Allen’s home

Babyshambles have signed a new record deal.

The band, who left their previous label Rough Trade after their contract expired, have joined up with Parlophone division Regal.

The band will now record 'The Blinding EP' for their new label, also the home of Lily Allen, to be released in November, Music Week reports.

There had been much speculation that Doherty’s band would join the EMI label, after they previously told NME.COM: “We are looking forward to making a great record with Babyshambles.”
