The Cribs

As the self-described hardest working band in Yorkshire, England, The Cribs have caused a frenzy in England with the help of an NME tour, which rippled over to America fueled by successful tours with Nine Black Alps, the Datsuns and The Kaiser Chiefs as well as sets at the CMJ Festival. The group is comprised of three brothers, who have been making music together since they were very young. Their single, "Hey Scenesters," was much talked about both for taking off on the UK Top 30 chart and for its lyrics referencing the 'cool factor' within the indie rock scene. The song even made its way onto hit TV show The OC. The New Fellas is the group's second album and was released by England's Wichita Recordings abroad and in the US. As the exposure broadens for The Cribs, their "Smiths meets Sex Pistols" sound will surely be heard by many. —JB
