During the Kaiser Chiefs craze of 2004, I also became smitten with The Cribs, a band who I thought sounded like the Kaiser Chiefs and ended up as the Chiefs opening act at NYC's Webster Hall. This was fine by me. It was one big, fresh Brit Pop party. I was so into the sound, I was looking for more. Give me more bands with crunchy guitars and killer choruses and hey, if I can dance to it, even better. So, I went all in with The Libertines, Maximo Park, The Hives, The Futureheads and the Arctic Monkeys, as well.
But like all love affairs, something always gets messed up, and as quickly as I fell in love with it all, I fell out. I moved on and stopped tracking. So, imagine my shock to see a new Cribs album released. I hadn't realized they released six records since I got off that indie Brit Pop, kinda punk bus. Now, on "Selling A Vibe," the Brothers Jarman are back after a six year hiatus and it is 2004 all over again.
There isn't a weak moment on this record.
Now here is where Cribs fans from across the world tell me how great all of those records after 2005's "The New Fellas" are. Please tell me. Because if there are any as good as "Selling A Vibe," I'll have a lot to catch up on.

2015 For All My Sisters is a fav of mine, 2009 Ignore The Ignorant is another one that deserves 3 or 25 spins IMO
Ignore The Ignorant have J. Marr on the, so to say
From 2007, their third album Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever is the bestseller. Produced by Frans Ferdinand’s Alex Kapranos, it’s been called one of the greatest British guitar of the era. Hyperbole? Lol!
Thanks for sharing the new one. It’s going to be a good day :)
Great SOTD. Looking forward to the whole of Wonderman Years.
Curious if you’ve heard 2004’s Delays’ Faded Seaside Glamour? Addictive, like The Las, to me. :)
