For how much longer will The Cribs have to suffer in the Brit indie c-list while lesser bands who've most likely copped a few moves off them in the past surpass them commercially? My guess is forever because there's just something about The Cribs that suggests they're forever doomed to be the bridesmaids.
Take latest single, 'Moving Pictures'; an eminently lovable shouty, mid-tempo love song, the like of which Ricky Wilson would give his collection of fashionable scarves to write, it's simultaneously great and destined for the bargain bins by the end of August. Why? Well, can you imagine Gary Jarman's pained, impassioned howl gracing a Vodafone commercial? Sure they might get to soundtrack the odd goal montage once the footy season starts, but they'll always edit out the vocals.
You see, The Cribs actually give a shit about their music and that rarely sells. The Cribs then; too good to be famous.
