The Cribs — Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever

"A man's needs are full of greed," the Jarman twins admit on the first single from their searing new album, as their younger brother pummels the skins. "A girl's needs just don't agree/With man's needs," they add, screaming so hard you barely notice their Yorkshire accents. With a predisposition for the cynical and the loud,...

The Cribs — The New Fellas

The second album by Yorkshire, England’s sibling trio The Cribs is an energetic and blisteringly sarcastic effort, which makes it a hell of a lot of fun.

Cribs Get Torontonians Moving

Put a Los Angeles indie rock band will country leanings, an oddball, hyperactive comedian and singer/songwriter and a British rock band with punk rock and jangle-pop influences together and what do you get?
