Biography
A British rock trio from Wakefield (Yorkshire), The Cribs have been led since 2001 by the Jarman brothers, twins Gary and Ryan Jarman (b. 1980) on bass and guitar respectively, and younger brother Ross Jarman (b. 1984) on drums. The Cribs sign with independent label Wichita Recordings to record their untitled debut album, which reaches No. 23 in the UK. Affiliated with the post-punk revival scene of the early 2000s, the trio charted three tracks on their next album, The New Fellas (#20), followed by Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever (#1 indie rock and #13 mainstream), including the hit "Men's Needs" (#17). The 2008 signing of guitarist Johnny Marr attracted festival audiences before the success of the album Ignore the Ignorant (No. 8), but it was without the former member of The Smiths, who left on April 11, 2011, that his successor In the Belly of the Brazen Bull (2012) was recorded, although it nevertheless reached No. 9. The Payola: 2002-2012 compilation, released in 2013, precedes the trio's subsequent albums: For All My Sisters (2015), produced by Ric Ocasek, 24-7 Rock Star Shit (2017), produced by Steve Albini, and the self-released The Cribs (2020), ranked #9, #8 and #18 in the UK. In 2022, the band released the debut EP The Cribs vs The Moths: College Session 2001, followed by their first live album, Live at the Cavern (2023). The trio return to the studio to record their ninth album, Selling a Vibe, released in January 2026.
