The Cribs - 'In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull' (UK Release: 7 May '12) // Words: Rajan Lakhani
A lot has happened in the three years since The Cribs released their last record. British alternative is at one of its lowest ebbs, with the most recent successes merely recycling what has gone before them, such as the Tribes (Britpop) and The Vaccines (The Ramones) albeit in a infectious way. Claiming "they did not want to do [a new album] while guitar bands were still in vogue", the scene is perfectly set for their return but does 'In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull' go some way to reinvigorating guitar music in the UK?

Those who bemoaned (including me) the overly clean production on The Cribs’s last record 'Ignore The Ignorant' will be rejoicing at the stripped-down sound of the 'Chi-Town', the first release from the band’s forthcoming album 'In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull'.

Live: The Cribs at The Relentless Garage, London (14/07/10)
Perhaps being young is the best time of your life. It’s certainly what some people say. “The Good Old Days”, as one important band of my earlier years sang. Maybe because you see the old days through a gold filtered haze, and you don’t see your troubles or worries and that sort of thing. I dunno, psychologists probably know better.
In June 2005, the day before my 17th birthday, shortly before the release of The Cribs’ second album, 'The New Fellas', I stood, youthful and impressionable, in the Garage in Highbury to watch The Cribs perform tracks off both the aforementioned album and their eponymous debut effort. It was the first time I had properly seen the band, having caught the raucous end of their Reading festival set the summer before and been a fan ever since.
