Press scrutiny surrounding Libertines frontman Carl Barat’s as-yet-unnamed new band is so tight in England that local dude ANTHONY ROSSOMANDO, who replaced ’Tines guitarist Pete Doherty, is under strict orders from management to keep his mouth shut about the project. This much can be told: Rossomando, who’s also the guitarist for DAMN PERSONALS, is a member of Barat’s new band, alongside Libertines drummer Gary Powell and former Cooper Temple Clause bassist Didz Hammond. Meanwhile, the DPs have a third album in the can: 10 Songs, produced by Andrew Schneider. "Everyone’s pretty stoked on the record," says DPs singer/guitarist Ken Cook. Rossomando joined the DPs for a CMJ showcase last month, and the band is currently shopping the album to labels . . . Last week THE NEIGHBORHOODS were inducted into the Boston Music Awards’ Hall of Fame, and their local hit "Prettiest Girl" made No. 5 on Boston magazine’s "Top 50 Boston Songs" list. The ’Hoods are also gearing up to play a reunion gig November 18 at the Middle East as guests of SCISSORFIGHT, who’ll be playing their first gig in a year and celebrating the release of a new CD single, "Victory Over Horseshit." (The song is also an exclusive free mp3 this week at bostonphoenix.com/onthedownload.) Scissorfight’s album Jaggernaut is due on Tortuga Recordings in February 2006. The connection? ’Fight drummer Kevin Shurtleff, who played in Neighborhoods leader David Minehan’s band Stardarts in the mid-’90s . . . ABIGAIL WARCHILD, the side project of Dirty Holiday guitarist Mike Sanders, celebrates the release of not one but three new EPs — Love, Hope, and Fear — Tuesday at Great Scott. The 15 songs were recorded by Mark Schleicher and Nick Zampiello at New Alliance . . . Local indie-rock trio KETMAN return home from a weeklong East Coast tour to celebrate their debut EP Dobrze Wednesday at P.A.’s Lounge. They recorded the album in their Lifted and Gifted Studio in Allston; it was mixed by Ryan Greene (NOFX, Megadeth) at Motor Studios in San Francisco.
