The Cribs是英國的一個三人組獨立搖滾樂隊。樂隊有雙胞胎兄弟，低音吉他手兼和音Gary Jarman和主音兼吉他手Ryan Jarman以及他們的弟弟鼓手Ross Jarman組成。 三人不夠十歲便制作了第一張Home-made唱片給家人耹聽。在家人的“不反對狀態(tài)”下，The Cribs最終能夠在Wichita得到一紙合約。由2004年的首張專輯The Cribs至2005年的The New Fellas，The Cribs竟能近乎毫無偏差地奏出悅耳又耐聽的旋律，每首歌曲無論獨立耹聽或者把整張專輯反復播放一整天，耹聽者也會得到歡愉恩羨的滿足感。The Cribs原定有4名成員，但吉他手Johnny Marr于去年離隊。樂隊迄今已發(fā)行四張專輯，其中最近的專輯Ignore The Ignorant獲得全英排行榜第8位。 The Cribs于千嬉年成軍，音樂風格以流行、前衛(wèi)為主，但Gary Jarman稱，自己不太愛聽時下的流行曲，因商業(yè)味太重，而且大部分都與搖滾無關，略感失望，反而較常聽非洲音樂，而最喜歡的樂隊則是披頭四。 by Heather Phares Yorkshire, England's the Cribs feature three brothers: vocalists/guitarist Ryan Jarman, bassist/vocalist Gary, and drummer Ross. The trio began playing together at an early age, making their debut at a family party in the late '80s when twins Gary and Ryan were nine years old and Ross was just five. The brothers grew up with similar musical tastes, blending quintessentially British influences like the Beatles, Sex Pistols, and Smiths with American indie rock like Beat Happening and Bobby Conn. Eventually, the Cribs got to play with both Beat Happening's Calvin Johnson and Conn; Conn liked the band so much that he invited them to record with him in his Chicago studio. The Cribs released three singles, Another Number, What About Me, and You Were Always the One, before signing to Wichita Records in late 2003. The band spent 2004 readying their self-titled debut album, which was recorded in London's famed Toerag Studios, touring with the Datsuns and performing at that year's CMJ Festival. Late that year they began working on their second album with Orange Juice's Edwyn Collins as producer. The Cribs was released in the U.S. in early 2005. Later in the year, the band issued their second album, The New Fellas. Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever, which boasted production by Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos, arrived in 2007. 更多>>
