Gary, Ryan and Ross Jarman from the Wakefield trio – The Cribs

“The whole idea of being independent and doing stuff on a D.I.Y level makes so much more sense because of the way the music industry is now. It’s very rare that people can be dependent on a record label anymore, so you really had better be about more than just the music. Otherwise the future doesn’t look particularly bright for people lasting more than a few months” (Ryan Jarman, Thursday 8 November 2012).

What’s this? Why it’s a whoppin’ big interview with The Cribs! Danny Carroll meets brothers Ryan and Gary Jarman during their recent Irish tour. Listen below to hear the Wakefield twins discuss tweeting with Brian May, being referenced in Stephen Malkmus lyrics, and their longstanding friendship with Irish band September Girls.

There’s also time to chat about current album ‘In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull’ and the increasing influence of ‘classical ideas’ upon The Cribs music.

Our interview begins with Gary talking about their musical ‘gateway drug’, Nirvana:
