The Cribs

The Cribs return with a new album, Selling A Vibe, and will play at the Badaboum in Paris on 9 April 2026. A fraternal trio from Wakefield, Gary, Ryan and Ross Jarman have shaped a direct, catchy sound nourished both by British influences — from the Beatles and the Sex Pistols to The Smiths — and by American indie, from Beat Happening to Bobby Conn. After more than two decades and nine albums, the band cultivates a cohesion forged on the road and in the studio, a sibling bond that seeps into their songs: taut guitars, a dry snare, and chant-along choruses that settle in without hesitation.

Selling A Vibe, announced for 9 January 2026, opens a new chapter without abandoning the essentials: crisp melodies, a melancholic tension, and immediate energy. The Cribs move straight ahead, refocus their songwriting, and work with the blend of grit and clarity that has become their identity. On stage, the trio alternates new tracks and classics in a compact set where efficiency prevails, driven by a propulsive rhythm section and cutting guitars. Meet them at the Badaboum, Paris, on 9 April 2026 to experience that simple, direct alchemy—made for sweaty venues and communal sing-alongs.
