Interview Anything But… with The Cribs
Boxing, green horses and leather gloves: we really get to know The Jarmans by not uttering a word about the music.
We all love music. It’s why we do what we do and why you read what we do. Sometimes, though, it’s nice to dig into the past of some of our favourite bands and find out what really makes them tick, without a single mention of the music. That’s exactly what we’re doing with our feature, Anything But…
The latest DIY faves to delve into their lesser-known passions are everyone’s favourite Jarmans. Yep, it’s The Cribs, and - just a warning - things got a little bit weird when our Lisa Wright chatted to Gary, Ross and Ryan about the former’s very unexpected boxing career, My Little Pony and, uh, leather gloves.
