Thanks to @yardactband for the kind words, and for helping fly the DIY flag x “One time, my old band were being photographed for Italian Vogue; loads of people hanging expensive clothes off the current trendy indie bands du jour. One of the bands in the green room had an advance copy of ‘The New Fellas’ and was blasting it through the stereo. Through all the bullshit and chatter in the room I remember hearing ‘Mirror Kissers’ and being fucking floored. FUCK. THIS IS THE EXACT REASON WE SHOULDN’T BE HERE. It just hit me that whilst everyone was pratting around in London being all self-congratulatory, The Cribs had just got their heads down and written an incredible follow up album that referenced everyone pratting around in London being all self-congratulatory. I stole a Paul Smith coat and walked off in a huff. I still LOVE that record though”. - Ryan Needham, YARD ACT
