Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever

The Cribs

Sharp, angular indie rock with a polished bite. A record of jagged guitars, sibling harmonies, and cynical observations on mid-2000s nightlife.

May 12, 2007 · Sonic Blew

Find on Amazon

A high-energy collision of youthful defiance and sharp-witted social observation.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive cowbell and jagged riff that opens Our Bovine Public sets an immediate high-stakes tone.
Lee Ranaldo's deadpan spoken word delivery on Be Safe provides a cinematic, sprawling emotional peak.
The interlocking vocal harmonies on the chorus of Men's Needs create a perfect indie-pop friction.
