The Cribs - Chi-Town

Hooray! The brothers Jarman have made their triumphant return to reclaim the indie punk crown after a drab 2011 without them.

With Johnny Marr leaving the band to pursue solo material, ‘Chi-town’ sees The Cribs going back to their roots with a piercing guitar riff locked in over a powerful bassline, giving that trademark gritty punk sound of The Cribs that we have all come to know and love. Chicago, start thanking the Jarmans, you officially have your new anthem.

The Cribs’ 5th studio album ‘In the Belly of the Brazen Bull’ is scheduled for release on 7th May, and judging by this banger 2012 is already looking a far more interesting year.
