3x3

The Cribs

Three-piece indie rock band the Cribs, from Wakefield, England, features twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and their younger brother Ross Jarman.
The song 'Hey Scenesters!' (off the album 'The New Fella's') was chosen as one of NME's "50 Greatest Indie Anthems of All Time."
The guys in the Cribs are personal friends with the Kaiser Chiefs. The Cribs opened for their mates on a 2005 European tour.

What other brother bands do you admire?
The Kinks, the Bee Gees, and the Ramones.
What is the most annoying fan behavior?
Ryan tends to get his shirt and shoes, belts torn off. It gets expensive!
What feedback have you gotten on the uncensored video of the 'Men's Needs'?
That version shouldn't have gone out. We censored it ourselves ... so people were aware she was naked without seeing anything.

Their sound is described as indie/punk and I can see that since they don?t really cross over into either genre completely. -- M&C
The almost shouting style of Ryan Jarman is coated by a slick and funky sound that builds up the atmosphere in between the terse cries. -- AngryApe
They distinguish themselves from other likeminded British bands by adding influences from American acts like Weezer and the Strokes. -- Eat Light
