Artist: The Cribs

Summer's nearly here and band's are starting to get their new releases out there and IC1s are no different. June 3rd sees the release of their latest single 'Growing Up, Going Down'. Ralph's had a sneak peak at the new single and it's a proper rock n rolla. It's a guitar driven anthem that'll sit well with any Festival crowd and a definite hat tip to their musical influences.

You know what I enjoy even more than the UK's biggest festivals? The smaller ones. Last year I ventured back into my home county of Derbyshire to hit up Y Not festival , a homegrown, grass roots built from the ground up festival. Boy did I have a good time. The likes of The Wombats, We Are Scientists, Pulled Apart By Horses, Roots Manuva, Little Comets and a host more across numerous stages graced the fields. This year promises to be even bigger, and with the winning the best small festival award last year, they're going to [...]

The task of assessing the various musics of Edwyn Collins when dislocated from the man himself is, perhaps inevitably, an intensely problematic one. The onetime Orange Juice songsmith suffered from a debilitating double brain haemorrhage back in early 2005, after which he set about reacquainting his body with the abilities so many of us now take for granted. Those of being able to read, write, write music and even walk, and though he could quite feasibly have been forgiven for wallowing in pitiful misery forevermore, he's never even so much as seemed to have done so. And so [...]

As recently reported Live Nation have secured the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for this years Hard Rock Calling shows and this means Bruce Springsteen might actually get to finish his set this time round. The boss was famously switched off before the end of his show last summer after the restrictive curfew placed on events in Hyde Park meant the noise had to be shut off at a specific time but the change of venue means no such restrictions. The other names confirmed for this years shows include [...]

Justin Timberlake 's second single off The 20/20 Experience , "Mirrors," has managed to become his second chart-topper as a solo artist in the UK this week. JT recently performed the song at the BRIT Awards , and has been in England doing promo for his upcoming third LP. Prior to "Mirrors," the onetime *NSYNC member hit the top across the pond with "SexyBack" — though, curiously, none of his singles with his former boy band ever made it to #1. (Timberlake also landed at the top in [...]

Last Wednesday night were the 2013 NME Awards at London's Troxy, and NME has offered up this live clip of the Cribs performing 'Mirror Kisses' on the night. Watch it below. The band's new singles compilation ‘Payola’, as well as a deluxe version with an additional 18 tracks of B-sides and rarities, is now available from Wichita Recordings.

The Cribs have been telling Xfm they reckon their former bandmate deserves the accolade - but it's a bit odd....

By Richard Wink February 13, 2013 I've always considered that when a band reaches the point in the career when they release a ‘Greatest Hits’ collection that they’re actually quite proud, even if at times putting out such a collection enables a band to tick off a contractual obligation of x amount of albums, or a label is trying to cash in on an asset. In some ways it’s like the factory worker who has toiled away for twenty five years only to get given a shitty engraved clock that he [...]

Leather Jacket Love Song by The Cribs Is there a better way to bring in the new year than with a cracking new song from one of the finest bands ever? Well, new might be the wrong word. It was the last song recorded as part of the Wakefield trio's sessions with Johnny Marr for their LP entitled Ignore The Ignorant. But after playing it live more than a couple times, finally, the long sought after studio version has been released. Sadly, the end of The Cribs is looming. They've stated that they [...]
