The Cribs

Cribs: Dunno, quite frankly. Love "Hey Scenesters" "Mirror Kissers" and that cover of Th'Kaisers "Modern Way" (check it out if youve not already, they make it sound like Echo and The Bunnymen, quite bizarrely), but the rest of the New Fellas album was a bit drab and standard indie-pop cereal with a bit of the kind of jaded cheeky Northern cheek to it. Im hoping to see them live, which is apparently where they excel, soon so judgement reserved

I actually saw the Cribs play in Leeds a few weeks ago. I thought they were good.Didnt blow me away but still good. I must admit I was kinda on a high asI was waiting to see Maximo Park and Kaiser Chiefs tho! The Cribs put on a good show tho.

Gah...you actually think Selfish Cu nt have anything worthwhile to say or play? Its all such derived generic shi-iteness from what Ive heard...

They're pretty good. I got into them because of Hey Scenesters which is poppy good fun. I've heard their s/t and The New Fellas, which is my favorite. Is that all they've released?

New single out along with new band member Johnny Marr.
Thoughts...

Johnny Marr going head to head with Jack White for who can be in the most bands (and just think, he turned down Suede...)

I've seen the Cribs supporting The Ordinary Boys (before they sold out completely) and they were pretty good, but I've never been impressed enough by them to actually buy any of their albums.

Victims of Mass Production is fairly catchy, like a lot of their old stuff, although I cringed a bit at rhyming it with 'weapon of mass destruction'...

Same here...never really been that impressed by them.
I heard the new single today and Marrs influence is all over it.
Has he under sold himself here, or has he brought something to the band that can make a big difference?
