Biography
Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England (2001 – present)
The Cribs are an English 3-piece indie band from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England which formed in 2001 and consists of twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and their younger brother Ross. In August 2008 Johnny Marr, former guitarist for The Smiths and Modest Mouse, became the official fourth member of the band. On April 11th 2011, Marr’s departure from the group was announced on their website, and The Cribs now continue as a 3-piece again.
They are signed to the Wichita Recordings label, and have currently released 4 albums through this imprint - ‘The Cribs’ (2004), ‘The New Fellas’ (2005), ‘Mens Needs, Womens Needs, Whatever’ (2007), and ‘Ignore The Ignorant’ (2009).
