The Cribs November 2005

The Cribs November 2005

Our Bovine Public/Don’t You Wanna Be Relevant?

There’s a feeling that as The Cribs lay down the gauntlet to their careerist contemporaries, the only response they’ll get is, “Er, no, we want to get off with teenagers and hang out with Lindsay Lohan.” Well, screw generation Razorfuck, The Cribs are the only people holding guitars worth trusting, as proved by the twinning of these two. For anyone wondering how these guys have gone from sewer-dwelling caners to punk-rock Yodas, the simple answer is: by never writing a bad song. This double A-side single is everything music should be.

time ago, my mate sent me the downloaded version of 'our bovine public' that were on the cribs' myspace. it were a fuckin great tuen then, and nothings changed. the new songs amazing, easily in the same class of 'mirror kissers' and 'you're gonna lose us', grows on you every listen. for those who like/love the cribs, you're gonna love this. for those who don't, whats up with ya?!?! the yorkshire lads r absolute legends
