It seems de rigueur at the moment to reinterpret classic albums wholesale, especially for the UK music monthlies as their free cover disk mounts. Following Mojo and Uncut both offering recent tribute discs to Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Beach Boys and George Harrison , Q magazine have joined the party with Back to Back to Black , an anniversary re-recording of Amy Winehouse's album featuring amongst others Manic Street Preachers, Hollie Cook, Dry The River, The View and The Temper Trap .

Frank Yang It seems a bit perverse to use the phrase, "comfort food" with respect to veteran Scottish post-rock giants Mogwai , but there's real truth in it. There's no question that they've grown as musicians and songwriters over their seven studio albums, but its been a gradual, evolutionary pace that's not done much to shock or shake loose (m)any of their fans along the way. Their touring regimen has also been similarly predictable, with typically two North American tours per album and each of those shows being rather understated from a visual point of [...]

Brooklyn three piece Devin , bearing the moniker of the lead singer, greeted us on a potentially sleepy weeknight with a set deserved of more listens than it got. Despite the barely three dozen punters milling about the venue, Devin Therriault attacked the stage with his punky, rockabilly tunage and managed to make the crowd turn and attend to the stage. The band gave it their all and I’ve got to hand it to any band that does that. With his barefooted brother [...]
Frank Yang It was sometime on Friday that, in looking at my NXNE schedule, that I realized just how Pitchfork-y it all was and for that, I apologize. It wasn't intentional, but there's no arguing that the balance of stuff I've heard of/stuff I was curious about/stuff that doesn't come through town all the time is pretty influenced by the online echo chamber. But to be fair, the options amongst my usual go-to of acts from the UK and Scandinavia was frightfully lean this year; like I can count them on one hand. [...]

Por Bárbara Villoslada Con un conjunto de canciones de los mas variadas, pasando por lo acústico, el post-punk y el indie rock, llega The Cribs con su reciente In the Belly of The Brazen Bull (2012). El trío oriundo de Yorkshire apostó por un álbum simple, sin grandes pretensiones pero con versatilidad y calidad musical. Los Jarman decidieron limpiar un poco su sonido, y tener momentos puntuales donde explotan al máximo su marcada faceta post-punk revival. Dentro de este compilado [...]

The last time The Cribs rolled into town, legendary guitarist Johnny Marr was part of the group. How would the crowd react without Johnny? Well, with the sweet buzz around their latest In the Belly of the Brazen Bull , fans at the El Rey Theatre were already pumped up to see brothers Gary, Ryan and Ross Jarman do their thing. In fact, Ryan had much more room to move around. Electric and dynamic - - the energy was there and the brothers are just fine on their own. Photos by Debi [...]

Heading into Tuesday's Devin and The Cribs show and the first show on their tour together, I expected some distortion, some rabid fans and some low lighting. I got all of this and much more as the two groups lashed out a punkish pair of sets that had my ears ringing in a good way. Devin arrived on stage a few ticks after 9 and immediately grabbed the attention of the arriving crowd with vocals reminiscent of Julian Casablancas or just 70s punk rockers. The entire set revolved around the newly released [...]

Win Tickets: The Cribs @ El Rey Theatre – Los Angeles, CA – 6/15/12 The Cribs are an English three piece with a lot going for them. Their punk rock styling's are everything you could ask for from a rock and roll band. Although The Cribs have yet to achieve commercial success state side they have done very well in the UK. The band is currently touring in support of their most recent release In the Belly of the Brazen Bull which reached the number nine position on the [...]
Uno de los adjetivos más utilizados a la hora de mencionar a The Cribs es divertido. Y la verdad es que la banda parece pasársela bastante bien tanto en el escenario como fuera de él, algo que se refleja no sólo en su música sino en sus videos promocionales. El último que le vimos a la banda fue de hecho un detrás de cámaras para “Come on, Be A No-One”, el primer sencillo de su nueva producción In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull , editada el pasado mayo y que [...]
