The Cribs are a ragtag UK band specializing in songs about drinking, pubs, girls, and drinking in pubs with girls. Sound familiar? It might. That's also the forte of several other UK bands that are hot right now, namely The Arctic Monkeys and The Fratellis. However, The Cribs actually predate both of these bands. In fact, there new album Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever is there third effort. If you are unfamiliar with their previous material, now is a good time to get on board because they certainly seem to be hitting their collective stride. Check out the mp3's posted below, courtesy of indiecristoph. The first, "Girls Like Mystery," should be right up your alley if you're a fan of either of the two other previously mentioned UK groups. The second, "Men's Needs," actually sounds like it could be a long, lost Strokes B-side, from the crisp, symmetrical guitar riffing in the mold of Albert Hammond Jr. to the staticky howled vocals that recall Julian Casablancas on his best day.
