Indie rock
Indie rockPunk rock

The Cribs is a Indie rock and Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Otoboke Beaver, Edwyn Collins, Electronic, Ric Ocasek and Modest Mouse. Those roots explain a lot about how The Cribs arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Futureheads, The Courteeners, Dirty Pretty Things, The Vaccines and We Are Scientists, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Lee Ranaldo, Paws and Catfish and the Bottlemen, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 42 connections around The Cribs, reaching back through Otoboke Beaver and forward to Lee Ranaldo.
