Steve Albini is grinding. The Shellac frontman and rock producer extraordinaire has helped Cloud Nothings flip the script on 2012 with their forthcoming album, is working with the equally volatile Screaming Females on their next effort , and for the trifecta Albini will also have his signature on British garage revivalists The Cribs ' forthcoming album (via NME ) . Tentatively titled In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull, the album also features production from Mercury Rev/Flaming Lips mainstay Dave Fridmann and a little bit of self-production from the band itself.

The Cribs ya empezó a trabajar en la grabación de su quinto álbum de estudio, sucesor de Ignore the Ignorant (2009), y para tal fin la banda contará con la ayuda del aclamado productor musical Steve Albini . En una entrevista con Rolling Stone , Gary Jarman habló sobre la influencia de Steve Albini en el sonido de las nuevas canciones: "Además de tocar mi instrumento habitual (el bajo) en la grabación, [...]

Im Jahr 2007 begann auch ich - als letzter von uns dreien - mein Studentenleben. Dafür blieb ich in meiner Heimatstadt Mainz, lernte an der Uni allerdings jede Menge neue Leute kennen. Unter anderem auch den Kollegen Matze , der mich bald fragte, ob ich nicht Lust hätte, einen Gastbeitrag für seinen Musikblog indiestreber zu schreiben. Wie ihr euch schon denken könnt - ich hatte! Und bei dem einen Artikel 1 sollte es nicht bleiben, schon bald war ich Teil der "Redaktion". Somit war [...]

UK lads the Cribs are set to release a special limited-region boxset in Yorkshire, Lancashire an...Portland?!?. Jackpot Records will exclusively stock a limited run of "The Roses Edition" of the band's third album, Ignore the Ignorant , when it's released on September 7th. Housed in a fancy black box, the edition includes a copy of the album, a "Making Of" documentary DVD, and an audio version of the Cribs' Manchester Ritz shows. But what's with the roses theme? Well, most of the band hail from Yorkshire, historically represented by the red rose (handy fact file [...]

Although I haven't done an 'Indie Spotlight' in over a year, I feel that with the resurgence of post-punk and jangly-guitared rock bands in both the U.S. and the U.K., it's high-time to do so. British post-punkers The Cribs hail from West Yorkshire, England and have been kicking out the jams since 2001. Comprised mainly of the Jarman brothers (Gary, Ryan, and Ross), ex-The Smiths superstar guitarist Johnny Marr rounded out their line-up in 2008. As the band is well-recognized for their rowdy live performances and DIY [...]
One doesn't expect rowdiness at the Mojo Honours List ceremony (the whole point is that winning bands are tasteful enough in their aggression to be enjoyed by Mojo readers), but Mark E. Smith evidently didn't get the memo. XFM claims that the singer became belligerent when asked to pose with British rockers The Cribs after they presented him with the Maverick Award. Smith pushed the band offstage, swearing and demanding to only be photographed by himself. The band, either out of reverence or genuine fear, fled the scene. [...]

The Cribs are coming! The Cribs are coming! Just when you thought you'd gotten their infectious single 'Man's Needs out of your head, they're back to sneak it right back in to your mental ipod. They are playing the El Rey theater on Friday April 4th with Ra Ra Riot and Jeffrey Lewis & the Jitters . Wanna go? We have 4 pairs of tickets for you (thank you Goldenvoice)....all you gotta do is tell us what the second song on their MySpace player is.... [...]
According to music tastemakers such as Q Magazine and the New Music Express, U.K. indie rockers the Cribs are among the biggest cult bands going. This would indicate two important things concerning the brothers Jarman who make up the...
Here's a long entry for prolonged eargasm since it's Good Friday. No, I'm not religious, I just have no work today. 1. The Cribs & CSS, Kate Nash More British music from me. The Cribs are a post-punk British group of three brothers. To be honest, I never heard of them until I was searching [...]

The Cribs - Men's Needs (CSS Remix) A friend slipped this song into his DJ set a month ago. I hadn't heard it before. Alex from Franz Ferdinand produced their album. CSS remixed their hit single. I love the way his voice strains on "MEEEN'S!" and "GREEEEEED!". The video for the original is such a tease...
The Cribs , an extremely underrated (if I do say so myself) 3-piece indie band, had an eventful week. On Friday (Oct. 5) front-man Ryan Jarman passed out during the end of the band's set at the Birmingham Academy. Jarman was unconscious for around 20 seconds, after hurling himself into a mosh-pit. Making things more rock 'n' roll, most of his clothes were ripped off by excited fans, leaving him shirtless and in torn jeans. Ooh, baby. Jarman completed the set by playing a couple of acoustic songs. Medical [...]
When it come to raucous rowdy bar music, the British have got us beat both in enthusiasm and catchiness. The embodiment of this claim lies with the Wakefield trio, the Cribs, whose stripped down raw rock anthems seem to start off as a rant to the bar tender and grows into an all out sing along riot. Their new album "Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever" was produced by Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos, and you can hear that classy gent's influence on the band especially when lead singer Ryan Jarman tames his vocals with a little swoon or [...]
New Music focuses on something just added to the WOXY.com playlist. Today the spotlight is on the new album from The Cribs titled, Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever. This is the third full length album from the three brothers from Yorkshire. This album is the first of the Cribs records to be produced by Alex Kapranos of [...]
i have to admit that sometimes even I'M overwhelmed by the amount of one name bands that the UK seems to throw at us every week. since hype is their middle name (especially on that NME), many of these acts kind of blend together in the end, crossing each other out. such was the case with the cribs , a group consisting of brothers gary, ryan (twins!) and ross. already on their 3rd album men's needs, women's needs, whatever (you see, that's how far off my radar they were!), the alex kapranos (franz ferdinand) [...]
