The Cribs are a band I regard as one of Britain's best kept indie rock secrets. They play a sort of lo-fi guitar pop with more than enough snarky lyrical bitterness to keep things lively. More interesting, they draw some Oasis comparisons for consisting of three brothers, including a set of twins, who happen to fight each other drunk and on stage. Though they started out a trio, the grown up Cribs have recently officially added ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr to their lineup. Some other notes from Wikipedia:
In 2008, Q magazine described the band as "The biggest cult band in the UK".Here's a track called "Martel" from 2005's The New Fellas.
Their song Hey Scenesters! was listed in NME's "50 Greatest Indie Anthems Of All Time". The band were one of only a few contemporary bands included in the list.
