The Cribs – Don’t you wanna be relevant?

• 10th Dec 2007

As soon as ‘Don’t you wanna be relevant?’ starts it grabs you, pulls you off your chair, shakes you up and doesn’t ever put you back down again.

‘Our Bovine Public’ does the exactly the same. It makes me wanna dance like Tim Booth from James (that’s a compliment).

By the way the band I’m talking about are The Cribs, but you should already know this because its too good to be missing out on. Infact I’m off to add them as my profile song on myspace.

Oh and get tickets for when they play Liverpool Uni on the 7th Feb.
