I just think the Cribs are incredibly average. They're not exciting in any way. The songs the write, the way they look. It's all just by numbers. I heard them being described as 'The original indie landfill godfathers.' I couldn't agree more. I find it kinda sad that they always count on famous friends to get any kind of press, be it Alex Kapranos, Kate Nash or Jonnney Marr. I think there's way better bands that do what the Cribs do but way better. I could list 100.As a buyer of NME I get tired of the amount of coverage they get when most people find them incredibly dull. NME have been bigging them up for about 6 years now and it's getting tedious. Time to move on lads.... it's painful. I don't hate The Cribs I just think they're painfully dull. Pub rock at best.

PS. I love The Smiths, I really do, and I agree Johnny is amazing. But why oh why is he doing this? At least keep some credibility. It stinks.

Great... The return of the dullest band in the UK. The Cribs are to punk what The Lighthouse Family are to Rock. And Johnny... What you doing mate? this is embarrassing for any fan of the Smiths. Mid-life Crisis?
