The Black Keys have claimed that they want to punch former Libertines man Carl Barat in the face.

In an interview with The Guardian, singer Dan Auerbach claimed that there was no other person his bandmate, drummer Patrick Carney, would rather have a fight with.

Talking about the band’s distaste for rock and roll posing, he said: “We’ve just never given a shit about image, and generally hate people who do. There’s nobody Pat wants to punch in the face more than Carl Barat, you know”.

Carney went on to add: “He looks like a prick, but he reminds me of how I thought I was coming off when I was 23. A dude, y’know.”
