The Cribs

“The Wakefield-based trio somehow managed to straddle the not previously navigated gorge between the very British lad rock culture and the American noisenik underground with a sharp lyrical eye and a fierce live show. Both worlds have their own idiosyncratic strengths but it was also a case of never the twain shall meet. Until now. The Cribs deal in great melody and those plaintive melodies that twist melancholia round euphoria and capture the claustrophobia and intensity of growing up in small British towns.” – Louder Than War Magazine Live Review
