THE CRIBS SHARE ‘OFF THE RECORD’ MUSIC DOCUMENTARY

LIVE: THE CRIBS / SLØTFACE / GOD DAMN – 12/05/2017

– ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – “C’mon, pretend we’re from Wakefield” implores Thom Edward, God Damn‘s persuasive frontman, referencing the hometown of tonight’s headliners to the thin early evening throng, who despite their modest numbers, are entirely in his thrall. He and his two bandmates are full-blooded performers, infected with limitless gusto, but the music is perfunctory. […]

SOUND CITY UNVEIL MORE ACTS INCLUDING SPECIAL GUESTS THE CRIBS

LIVE: THE CRIBS – 21/10/2015

– THE ALBERT HALL, MANCHESTER – “Is Johnny Marr still in the band? No? Good.” It’s true that the Johnny Jarman period split Cribs fans. It’s a long way behind them now, but Marr’s reputation lives on, certainly in the mind of my mate Danny who asked me this. The fact that Ryan Jarman will […]

– ACADEMY 1, MANCHESTER – Compared to last year’s raucous festive bash, XFM’s 2009 Winter Wonderland proved to be a bit of a bland affair. The presence of three acoustic acts on the bill was definitely a contributory factor to this, as the Academy crowd struggled to get out of first gear. Local electro-rock outfit […]
