The Cribs Release their new single, Moving Pictures on July 30th 2007.

Moving Pictures is taken from their album, 'Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever'. The record took shape in the Canadian city of Vancouver during the late summer of 2006 where the brothers found the ideal person to help make them make the transition from indie-boys to rock 'n' roll men. "We always wanted to make our records sound raw and live but working with Alex Kapranos made us understand how we could expand on that. He's just as indie-minded but he showed us that we could still sound live even if we added extra instruments and gave the songs more depth. Alex taught us not to be ashamed about doing things like that and how reaching more people can never be a bad thing."

The years that these three spent carving out a grassroots fanbase by playing toilets, sheds and backrooms in pubs with names like The Hound And Hooligan were done with the intention of one day getting some kind of return but some of the Jarman thunder was stolen while they had their backs turned. Amassing copious amounts of internet popularity and a number of MySpace friends that could populate a small Eastern European country is the easy part, getting them all to come to your gigs is much harder but the Cribs have been doing that for years - one "pro-vin-c-ial town" at a time. And now it's time to reap what's long been sowed.
