New Single: The Cribs

I was absolutely OBSESSED with The Cribs' Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever when it came out.  I think I listened to it on repeat every day, all day for two months straight.  One of my all-time faves.  Then came Ignore the Ignorant.  It was good, but I just didn't latch on like I did before.  The band had been signed to a Warner Bros. and I don't think that the combo was working.  For anyone.  So, I'm delighted to find out that the band has been busy working on a new record and are signed with an indie.  YAAY!  This can be nothing but good.  "Come On, Be A No-One" is the latest single from In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull, to be released May 15th on Wichita Recordings.  I freaking love this song.  It's got all the things I love about The Cribs: raw energy, catchy hooks and addictive melodies.  They're back and I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. it!!!
