The Cribs

The Cribs are a British indie rock band formed in 2001 by three brothers from Wakefield. They play energetic, guitar-driven music that blends indie rock and punk influences with melodic hooks and a DIY aesthetic. Their recordings range from lo-fi immediacy to fuller, more layered productions, and their sound is marked by punchy rhythms and direct vocals. The band has collaborated with other notable musicians at times and has been part of the UK indie scene since the early 2000s.
