The Cribs

The Cribs are an English four-piece indie rock band from Wakefield, West Yorkshire. The band is made up of twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and their younger brother Ross Jarman. They were then joined by ex-The Smiths and Modest Mouse guitarist Johnny Marr who has been made a formal member of the band since 2008. The band, who first became active on the concert circuit in 2002, were initially tied to other like-minded UK bands of that time, most notably The Libertines, by a British music press that were looking for a 'British rearguard' to the wave of popular US indie rock bands of the time. In 2008, the band was described by Q magazine as "The biggest cult band in the UK".
