Replaced by Pete Howard

Billy Freedom was replaced in 2002 by drummer Pete Howard , formerly of The Clash . The band signed with Rough Trade for their second album, 2002’s Drink Me . The record spawned the single ” Pretty Like Drugs ,” which garnered the band attention from rock press. The album was well received by such publications as Drowned in Sound , who gave it a 7/10 rating, writing: “KatieJane Garside is the kind of woman who makes ordinarily rational grown guys go weak at the knees. “Pretty Like Drugs” will show you why. As her cutesy lost girl Tori Amos /Björk-isms erupt into fearsome hollers that would have piss dribbling down Courtney Love ‘s surgically enhanced thighs, it’ll all make sense.” The French publication Les inrockuptibles described the record as “Gothic, dark, and threatening.”
