The Cribs


The Cribs

With their third studio album, ‘Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever’, THE CRIBS made further strides from indie heroes to mainstream contenders. Released to critical acclaim across the board, the album’s lead single, ‘Men’s Needs’, delivered their debut Top 20 chart placing. 

The album also debuted at 13 in the UK charts to mark a double first for the Wakefield lads, saw them nominated for four NME Awards in January of this year and recruit Johnny Marr as a guitarist for selected shows on the NME Awards tour in January. A fantastic live band, Leeds is sure to bring out the welcome mat for the near home town boys first headline performance but expect a similar situation at Reading as THE CRIBS continue their rise to fame.
