Live Review: The Cribs / The Blinders – Chalk Venue, Brighton 12.03.2022
There was a real sense of vibrant energy and feverish atmosphere in the air in Brighton as TheCribs made their way to the stage with a real sense of missing the good old times in the amassed throng. Despite the band gigging for over 15 years and recipients of a host of top 10 chart …
Album Review: The Cribs – ‘Night Network’: their best yet?
Replete with unparalleled displays of riff-age. Riddled with lyrical honesty. An uncompromising garage-punk production. Each of The Cribs’ releases has honed these and other facets with increasing skill and, as preceding albums have progressively done, Night Network embellishes The Cribs’ sound with the brothers’ continuously developing songwriting and influences, while still retaining that indelible and …
SEE: The Cribs’ ‘I Don’t Know Who I Am’: a glorious new tune with Lee Ranaldo
THE CRIBS continue their glorious return with new single “I Don’t Know Who I Am”, their second partnership with Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo, who delivered the astounding spoken word of fan favourite “Be Safe”.

Not Forgotten: ‘wrinkle’, the early EP from 2/3 of ‘The Cribs’
Prior to forming The Cribs with younger brother Ross, Jarman twins Gary and Ryan made a smattering of noisy goodness as wrinkle.

See: The Cribs release Be Safe lockdown video featuring Lee Ranaldo
Coming over two years since their last album and tour, The Cribs’ lockdown version of their hallowed track Be Safe is even more poignant. As a band adverse to any form of inactivity or hiatus, their hefty break, alongside the indeterminable claustrophobia of the lockdown blues themselves, meant fans were clamouring. The band have often cynically dismissed their …
Album Review: The Cribs – 24/7 Rock Star Shit
24/7 Rock Star Shit is the new album by Wakefield lads The Cribs. Their seventh studio album (if you don’t include best-of Payola) begins in the most Cribs was possible; a screech of guitar into an immediately catchy riff. The classic Jarman brother vocals on Give Good Time aren’t note perfect, but that isn’t why …
Live Review: The Cribs – Leeds First Direct Arena 20/05/2017
What’s better than a hometown band playing a hometown arena show? Pulled Apart By Horses dominate the stage early on. With I Punched A Lion In The Throat having the biggest impact early on, the anarchic punk rock vibes pack a huge punch. There isn’t a huge crowd down yet but the few numbers that …
