ah I love The Cribs, Ross walked past the stand I was working at Reading and I got him to sign my top, so chuffed.
Although didnt enjoy the bit of the set I saw at Reading I cant complain though I saw them at Kings College last Tuesday and that was fab

but yea a friend [actually complete stranger... but for the sake of the flow of the story] told me to check em out, and at first i was like my god- the singing is atrocious. but it really grew on me and now i love it hahah he really does have an awesome voice. not saying the singings exactly amazing still, but like, really whatever haha.

I think they're ok, Lyrically pretty sound.

I can't remember who it was, i think it was Colin Murray or Steve Lamacq said that they're like their alternative to RATM because of the way they get their messages across in their songs, but the songs are catchy as hell!

for me its the other way round
I loved the 1st and 2nd album
3rd album took them playing it live in order at Cribsmas before I fell for it
I love the messiness of the 1st two and the rough edges
this new polished line they are taking I find harder to love
however I do keep finding myself singing be safe or I'm a realist

That's what i love about new fellas. They just sound messy and amateur and it's good!
MNWNW (short code for the 3rd album
) sounds too well done!
Gotta love the rough edges!

i got all three albums at the same time so for me i didnt have a prefrence for one over another, but i could def tell which was their earlier stuff compared to their

but yea i agree that like rough, amature quality made them sound reaally good. sorta like they have the brains for the music but not the right stuff to get it out with?

The third album attracts all the fools into the NME/Radio 1 tent whho only know Men's Needs.....then stand around and don't jump....making me look like a fool when i'm the only one within a 2 metre radius jumping up and down going crazy!

3rd album is one of the best i've heard in the last 10 years. That good in my book.
Tickets went on sale for Heaven at 9.30 and when i got through at 9.40, f*ckin sold out ;'( . They didn't bother with a presales link for registerd fans the gits. Anyone finds themselves with a spare & they'd like to offer it to a Pirate i'll pay some decent money ![]()
Offline
dude they went back on sale at 3
I have learnt if tickets sell out quick try again throughout the day cos they usually come back on sale when cards get refused or they recount what they have
I will keep an eye out for you neat beats
and keep an eye on their forum they usually spring spares nearer the time
scarlet mist is another good place to keep an eye on
