The Cribs New Album Earns Early UK Praise; Stream It In Full NOW

Yorkshire punk-rock upstarts, The Cribs, will release the digital version of their brand-new album, Ignore the Ignorant, on September 8th, 2009. The album has already received huge praise in the UK, earning positive reviews in many prominent publications, including MOJO, UNCUT, Q, NME and THE FLY. In addition to a positive review, the band was also featured as an NME cover story last month.

Ignore the Ignorant, which you can listen to in full here, will be sold in two configurations, a standard version and a deluxe edition - which will be available exclusively through iTunes. The deluxe version includes 20 live bonus tracks recorded at The Ritz nightclub in Manchester, England in February 2009.

Ignore the Ignorant is the first full album The Cribs, who are brothers Gary Jarman (vocals/bass), Ryan Jarman (guitar/vocals), and Ross Jarman (drums), have made with ex-Smiths’ guitarist Johnny Marr, who became a formal member of the group in February 2008. As Johnny has said “The Cribs possess the brains of The Buzzcocks, the guts of Nirvana, the fizz of Ramones.”

The album is now available for pre-order via iTunes. The record, which has already earned an 8/10 from NME and 4 stars from Q Magazine overseas, can be purchased in two different configurations, standard and deluxe, starting NOW. The deluxe version, which is an iTunes exclusive, will feature an additional 20 live tracks recorded at The Ritz in Manchester, England earlier this year.

To celebrate the album’s release, live dates have just been confirmed for Los Angeles and New York City. These will be the first American shows with guitarist Johnny Marr added to the line-up.
