More Babyshambles news, though no blood involved here, promise. Word has it Doherty et al will release a new EP via Parlophone imprint Regal in November - it'll be called 'The Blinding'. It's not clear if this means the band have signed a full on record deal with the EMI label, or whether it's a one single only deal, perhaps part of Regal's previously reported singles club. I'll try and find out.
