BV Interview: The Cribs talk ‘Selling a Vibe,’ surviving, brotherly love

2 days ago7 min read

In the world of indie rock, few dynamics are as potent or as enduring as the fraternal bond, a truth The Cribs have been proving for over two decades. Speaking recently, guitarist and vocalist Ryan Jarman offered a glimpse into the alchemy that fuels the band’s longevity and creative spark.“As brothers, we have our own language to a degree, where we can describe something and all three of us know what we’re referring to,” he noted, a statement that resonates like a perfect chord for anyone who’s followed their journey from the garages of Wakefield to cult-hero status. This shared dialect, a product of a lifetime spent in the same orbit, is the secret sauce behind their raw, unfiltered sound—a sound that has defiantly resisted major-label gloss and fleeting trends.Their latest chapter, the album ‘Selling a Vibe,’ isn’t just another entry in a storied discography; it’s a testament to survival, a record born from the unique understanding that only siblings who have weathered internal tensions and external industry pressures can possess. It’s the musical equivalent of a three-part harmony that requires no rehearsal, where a glance or a half-finished sentence can communicate more than a producer’s notes ever could. In an era where bands are often manufactured and fleeting, The Cribs stand as a compelling argument for the power of blood and shared history, crafting anthems that feel less like composed songs and more like conversations in a language only they truly speak, yet one that their fiercely loyal audience has learned to feel in their bones.
