The Cribs have announced details of a brand new single, entitled 'Men's Needs' it's lifted forn their forthcoming longplayer ' Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever' - duly revealed on 21st May.
The single heralds a new chapter in the life of the band which has witnessed the brothers Jarman emerge from the success of their previous album 'The New Fellas' and the subsequent chart action that ensued with the singles that accompanied it, particularly the pop nous of 'Hey Scenesters' , 'Mirror Kissers' et al which propelled the band into previously uncharted territories.
2006 saw the band backpeddle into the background concentrating on writing new material and cherry picking who they wanted to work with and to that end they entered a studio in Vancouver late last year with Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand) who as well as being on the the "same wavelength" also loved the new songs, the resultant recordings have those in the know slobbering in anticipation and will undoubtably see The Cribs raise their benchmark yet again. The first of these is the single 'Men's Needs' which has already proved a favourite as witnessed on the band's recent jaunt around the UK, whilst with Mr Kapranos at the helm it appears to harness the songwriting strengths of the brothers without losing punk rock ethos of the band.
The single 'Men's Needs' will be available on two 7" singles, CD and a digital format - on 14th May thru Wichita- Recordings, tracklisting still tbc. The album , 'Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever' (WEBB126CD) is released on 21st May.
