Description
The Cribs return with their first album in five years ‘Selling A
Vibe’, released 09 January 2026 via Play It Again Sam.
After two decades and nine albums as one of Britain’s
best-loved bands, the Wakefield-born siblings have weathered
enough storms, onstage and off, to realise that an
indestructible bond exists between them. For years, it’s fizzed
beneath the surface of their sound, perforating every thrash of
guitar, every snap of snare, every impassioned vocal, roared
back at them at live shows by sweat-drenched, devoted
crowds. But rarely have the band acknowledged this bond out
loud. “It’s not something we ever really said to each other
explicitly,” admits bassist and lead vocalist Gary. That all
changed, however, with the creation of Selling A Vibe – their
bold new album, which captures The Cribs at their
bottle-rocket energetic best.

Produced by MGMT and Caroline Polachek collaborator Patrick
Wimberly, Selling A Vibe is an unapologetic celebration of
family. It’s about finding your way back to health with help
from those loved ones, the band explain. “On our first records,
we were just writing about our individual experiences. That’s a
really verdant field of inspiration, but as you go along, life
points you towards bigger things to write about,” says Gary.
“But this time, I realised when I was writing the lyrics that all of
the songs were really rooted in family.”
