“We decided against going down the syrupy, sentimental route,” The Cribs have said.
The Cribs are the latest band to get in on the festive spirit with the release of a new track entitled Christmas (All Year Long).
“This is a big fuzzy stomper, with cheesy lyrics and some over the top guitar solo-ing,” the Jarmans say. “That, to us, equals a good time.”
“Which is what we think a Christmas song should evoke. Maybe this isn’t the best year to launch a Christmas song…but whatever, hopefully this helps cheer you up a bit.”
Given they were pondering their future together as a band once its recording wrapped up last year, the brothers have plenty of reasons to celebrate at this seasonal time after the eventual release of Night Network last month; an album which shows, ‘The Cribs are back – and brilliantly, there’s not a goddamn thing anyone can do about that’, according to Live4ever.
