One of the best British rock bands to emerge in years, The Cribs make their major-label debut with Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever. Produced by Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos, the album finds the fraternal Jarman trio twins Ryan and Gary, and kid brother Ross blasting out perfect pop songs with provocative punk power. The melodies are brash and memorable, the hooks undeniable, and the lyrics spiced with intelligence and a healthy cynicism. Capturing their famed onstage ferocity, Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever introduces The Cribs to America.
