The Cribs are originally a 3-piece indie rock band from Yorkshire, UK. That is until they made rock and roll guitar hero Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths and more recently Modest Mouse) a permanent member in 2008, Johnny Marr’s departure in 2011 returned them to their original trio.

They are currently working on their 5th album, following 2009’s ‘Ignore The Ignorant’

Their last 3 album released have all achieved silver certificate in the UK, all album released have attained higher and higher peak positions in the UK album chart. 2004 eponymous debut reached 94, 2005’s ‘The New fellas’s reached 78, 2007’s ‘mens needs, womans needs, whatever’ reached 13 and 2009’s ‘ignore the ignorant’ peaked at 8.

The last single released by The Cribs was an unnanounced surprise single called ‘housewife’ which was only available on vinyl and download. Despite the lack of PR and limited formats with this single it still charted at 105 which shows the loyalty and strength of The Cribs fanbase that they have accrued over the years.

The 2007 single ‘Mens Needs’ is their highest charting single success, watch the video below…

The Cribs are an English indie rock band originally from Wakefield, West Yorkshire. The band consists of twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and their younger brother Ross Jarman. They were subsequently joined by ex-The Smiths and Modest Mouse guitarist Johnny Marr who was made a formal member of the group in 2008. Marr would remain as part of the band until 2011; his departure was officially announced on 11 April through the band’s website. Despite returning to the original trio, the band currently enlists David Jones of Nine Black Alps as a second guitarist for live shows. The band, who first became active on the concert circuit in 2002, were initially tied to other like-minded UK bands of that time, most notably The Libertines, by a British music press that were looking for a ‘British rearguard’ to the wave of popular US alternative rock bands of the time. They had outgrown this tag by the time of the commercial success of their third LP. In 2008, Q magazine described the band as “The biggest cult band in the UK”.

In 2012, the band’s 10th anniversary year, they were honoured with the Spirit of Independence award at the annual Q Awards. Several months later, they received the Outstanding Contribution to Music award at the annual NME Awards.

As of 2015, their last 3 albums have charted in the UK Top 10.
