Oh the Cribs. Man I was all about the Cribs. The Cribs, their debut album, was in constant rotation for quite some time round here. And yes it was easy to peg the Cribs as yet another "the" band jumping on the bandwagon, swingin to and fro, cribbing [no pun intended]from the 80's, and bringing that early cure/the Smiths/Television/Gang of Four sound back. But with those accents, Elmer Fudd pronounciations [surely I am not the only person who noticed this on the debut album], and mod leaning vibes of their hooks and melodies, the Cribs managed to grab you attention. The second album? For me, not so much. But I am having high hopes for this next one, especially after viewing this video. The Cribs. Men's Needs. Check-check the melody.
And since we're on the subject...a little old school funk. The Cribs. You Were Always the One.
