WITH THEIR FOURTH ALBUM ‘IGNORE THE IGNORANT’ JUST RELEASED, A NATIONAL TOUR AHEAD OF THEM AND AN ARMY OF LOYAL FANS, THE CRIBS JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARDS. THE BAND WERE ALREADY A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH, EVEN BEFORE LEGENDARY FORMER SMITHS GUITARIST, JOHNNY MARR JOINED THEM. CRIBS DRUMMER, ROSS JARMAN CHATS TO ARASH TORABI ABOUT THE RECENT ADVENTURES OF THE BAND THAT ALSO CONSISTS OF HIS BROTHERS RYAN (VOCALS/ GUITAR) AND GARY (VOCALS/BASS).
have a bad accident. So I jumped off, fell and broke my wrist. I was told to rest for six weeks, but I ended up playing drums again after four days even though I was in a lot of pain. I took a lot of painkillers. I’ve got a weird lump on my wrist now. Your recent material is less lo-fi than your previous work. Was that a conscious decision? It was a natural progression really. The first album was very DIY, the second a lot less and the third album was quite pop. The new album is a lot more cinematic with a lot more depth, especially since having Johnny Marr as another guitarist.
How did Johnny Marr end up joining The Cribs? You broke your wrist in the middle of Gary originally met him at (former recording the new album, and yet you Pavement frontman) Stephen Malkmus’ carried on. Tell us about that. house in Portland, and Johnny told him We’d been working hard for a week how much he liked the band. After that, and we had a day off, so me and Ryan I met him at Glastonbury and we hung decided to skateboard. We went up out for a bit and got on well. Then I saw this really steep hill, which looked like him again at the Q Awards and asked it would be fun on the way back. I’ve him if he wanted to write a song with us. always been bad at skateboarding, We originally booked a session for five probably because I’m so tall. Anyway, days, expecting to just write one song. the board was going faster and faster, It was so productive that we wrote four, and I thought I’d better get off before I demo’d them and carried on writing 10 |

more for an album. Then Johnny joined us on the NME tour. So it all just fell into place Yeah, it wasn’t planned. He wanted to be in the band, and we wanted him to be in the band. We’d written all these songs with him, and it ended up being a full time thing. Were there any worries about Johnny’s iconic reputation casting a shadow over the band? Not really. It kinda swings both ways, because we’re an established band: our fans are very loyal and hardcore, and they don’t like any changes in the band. When there was a rumour going round that we were getting a new guitarist, at first they weren’t really into the idea, but when they found out it was Johnny Marr, it was like, fair enough! The fans enjoy the fact that he plays for us. Are you into The Smiths or any of Johnny’s former work? Oh yeah, we all listened to The Smiths when we were growing up. Did you all like the same bands when you were growing up and who would you cite as your influences?
We were into the same stuff, and it was good for me being the younger brother: the fact that I could go across the hallway and discover all this new music. We all got really into The Beatles – our mum had all the LPs. And we got into Ramones and The Sex Pistols as well, as teenagers.
How did you get signed to Dick Green’s Wichita label? We did a gig with Bright Eyes and Dick came to see us, wearing this really weird Hawaiian shirt. At the time Wichita was a very small label but we liked their ethics and their roster. We’d met with a few other labels, but had a lot in common with those guys. We’d go drinking with them and talk about music, so we ended up going with them.
Good to see the album is also out on vinyl. Vinyl’s definitely the best format – for the artwork as well. It’s something we think about a lot, when we’re doing the artwork.
Would you say The Cribs stand out against other bands? If so, in what way? Well yeah: we’ve been going for a while now and we’re on our fourth album. A lot of these so-called indie bands just come and go. We’ve I’m a big fan of Dick Green’s old also played all the small venues and band Biff Bang Pow! Yeah, not many people know about Biff worked our way up, building up an Bang Pow! but Gary had heard of them organic fanbase who obsess about the b-sides and every detail of the band. before we met him. We haven’t got any casual fans, which Do you write collectively or a lot of other bands seem to have. I like your offer of an exclusive live individually? Another thing is that most people now disc and DVD with your new album, for We all get together in a room and just sell more digital, and we’re completely people who buy it from independent jam, and what we like, we record. And the other way. Our fans are completely shops in your various hometowns. that’s exactly what we did with this new about the physical releases.

Words: Sam Walker-Smart
Former frontman of hardcore outfit Million Dead, Frank Turner has reinvented himself as the purveyor of ‘campfire punk’; now delivering angry and candid acoustic numbers that speak volumes about modern life. While songs of love, loss and drunken nights may be the staple for any singer-songwriter worth their salt, Turner throws away the folk rulebook and paints a picture of a real 21st century boy with real 21st century woes. With debut ‘Sleep is for the Week’ and follow up ‘Love Ire & Song’ granting him a cult following, new release ‘Poetry of the Deed’ has reached the top 20 and granted U.S tours with former punk idols from his youth. Speaking exclusively from the great American highway with Sam WalkerSmart for 247 Magazine, Frank discusses the future, Bruce Springsteen, and the perils of trying to find a proper cup of tea abroad. You have just released your third album ‘Poetry Of The Deed’ last month; do you see the album as a big step forward or a natural progression from your first two? There’s more difference between this and Love Ire & Song than between the first two albums, certainly. I took my live band into the studio, worked with an outside producer (Alex Newport) and it was a more concentrated body of work than on previous efforts. Having said all of that, it wasn’t a massive left-hand turn or anything like that. It’s definitely down the same road as my previous solo records. I actually feel like it’s the third part of a trio in a way, and that next I might try something a little different, at least lyrically. You recently went on tour in the US with punk legends The Offspring. Any words of advice or pearls of wisdom for a band or solo artist about to go on a big American tour? Apart from the usual platitudes about packing enough clean clothing and the like, the main difference with American touring is the distance involved. Ten hour drives are not uncommon, and you have to play a show at the end of it. It’s survivable, but you have to get into the right mindset for a lot of driving. Beyond that, touring America is a joy, it’s such a great country and I love American people. What creature comforts do you miss the most while on tour? Given the amount that I tour and how long it’s been since I
wasn’t touring, I’m pretty used to this way of being. I guess I really miss cooking a meal for myself, eating out every single day gets a bit tedious (and expensive) after a while. But for the most part, I fucking love being on tour. Is their anything in your career you would like to go back and do again? Not really. I mean, there are things that haven’t turned out the way they were planned and so on, but on the whole things are going really well for me right now, and so I don’t think it’s worth thinking about trying to correct anything in the past. Focus on the future and all that. Are their any particular artists you would love to work or duet with? Many. I’m actually talking to Beardyman about making some kind of fucked up electro pop acoustic record at the moment, which I think would be a whole load of fun. Beyond that, it’d be amazing to work with Nick Cave, but I’d probably just shit myself… Any big plans for the near future other then gigging? Not really. I actually want to get back in the studio soon because I have a whole trenche of acoustic fingerpicked songs that I haven’t used yet for any album, and it seems like it’d be fun to make something along the lines of Springsteen’s ‘Nebraska’. But I’m basically going to be on tour for a very long time. Which is fine with me. You have unfortunately been shipwrecked. What would your Desert Island Disc be? Very hard question to only pick the one! I might have to say ‘Born To Run’ by Springsteen. But that’ll change every minute or so, ha! A hard one now to finish. Coffee? Tea? Or neither? Being an Englishman I feel duty bound to say tea, but actually recently I’ve been drinking more coffee simply because it’s fucking impossible to get decent tea on the road outside the UK. So I have started settling for coffee. I have betrayed my culture, alas.
Frank Turner’s new album ‘Poetry of The Deed’ is out now on Xtra Mile Recordings/Epitaph Records. He plays the University of Plymouth on 24 Oct, The Lemon Grove in Exeter on 25 Oct, Bristol Anson Rooms on 26 Oct and Solus in Cardiff on 27 Oct.

Words: Lekan Latinwo
Our roving reporter Lekan Latinwo caught up with the UK urban phenomenon that is Tinchy Stryder, to touch upon a few topics like his latest album, his UK tour (coming to Cardiff and Bristol this October), and the whole importance of being a “star in the hood.” How did you get the name Tinchy Stryder? It’s a nickname that I was given when I was younger cause I was the tiniest person around my area, and the name just stuck, its just one of them things. You’ve been doing your thing as an independent artist in the urban scene for a few years now, both as a solo artist and as a member of Ruff Sqwad. How did you manage to get signed to a major label like Island/Universal records? Basically, I was in the process of releasing my single ‘Stryderman’ independently, we did a music video for the track, and a promotional campaign, and a week before the track’s release date I got the call from Island/Universal that they saying that they wanted to sign me. How did the whole “Star In The Hood” concept come about and develop into a marketing brand? ‘Star In The Hood’ is the title of one of my earlier albums that came out in 2006, and at the time we did a few t-shirts to help promote the album. We had a few t-shirts left over, so we used them in the ‘Stryderman’ music video, then after that the public demand for the t-shirts just went crazy, we sold so many t-shirts it’s unbelievable.
What can we expect from your latest album ‘Catch 22’? This album is an insight into my life, it doesn’t necessarily have a concept or theme that ties it all together, but they all blend together to make a great album, and the tracks express different aspects of my life and vibes that the listeners can connect with and enjoy. Where did the inspiration for the album title come from? I named the album ‘Catch 22’ because of my transition from an independent artist to a major label artist. I had a lot of big decisions to make, a lot of pros and cons that I had to weigh up and also it ties in well with the fact that I just turned 22. So when you look at it, all the pieces of my life fall perfectly into place with the album being given that title. Which producers and artists did you work with on this album? With regard to producers, I worked with Fraser T Smith who’s done a lot of production for Kano, Craig David and N-Dubz in the past. I have also worked with Chase & Status, Frank Musik and I’ve produced a few tacks myself. The artists I’ve worked with include a few names that the public are already familiar with, like Taio Cruz, N-Dubz and Amelle from Sugababes, as well as my original crew Ruff Sqwad, Chipmunk and an exciting new artist called Tanya Lacey who’s actually from Bristol, she features on the track ‘Spotlight’ which is one of my favourite tracks from my album. You’re currently doing a huge UK tour with Chipmunk as your support, and you will be touching down in Cardiff and Bristol this month to do shows, so what can people expect from a Tinchy Stryder concert? Its going to be big, with a lot of visuals that add a different element to the tracks people have heard from the album. To the people of Cardiff, Bristol and the rest of the UK you will not be disappointed, just feed off the live energy and expect the unexpected.
“Just feed off the live energy and expect the unexpected”
Tinchy Stryder will be performing at CARDIFF University student union (SOLUS) on 1 October, and O2 Academy BRISTOL on 5 October. Tinchy Stryder’s album ‘Catch 22’ is OUT NOW (on Island/ Universal) and his single ‘You’re Not Alone’ is due for release on 2 November.

The Bristol museum is slowly taking shape on the Bristol Harbourside, the new building has even been re-named after the one it’s replacing after consultants charged Bristol City Council £100,000 to tell them M-Shed was and still is the best name to use! Good to see our council tax is being put to good use. And whilst the contractors take their time building the damn thing, the hoardings around it provide one of the best high profile street art spots in the city. The museum commissioned Bristol’s finest to re-paint it last month, with the results below.

The Resistance (Warner)
I shouldn’t think that, in decades to come, we’ll hold them in the same light that our ancestors held the Romantic composers of the 1800s but, by Christ, I defend Muse’s right to try. Via the twin towers of aural bombast and oral revolution, ‘The Resistance’ is the sound of War Of The Worlds disinterring the corpse of Freddie Mercury and feeding it to a wrathful Glitter Band. Thrilling and incredulous, Bellamy’s vision of transcending pop culture becomes ever less implausible. Backbone
Tinchy Stryder Catch 22 (Island/Universal)
Tinchy has been around for a few years on the grime scene, both as a solo artist and as part of Ruff Sqwad, but ‘Catch 22’ is his first album on a major label. It features hits like ‘Take Me Back’ (ft Taio Cruz) and latest single ‘Never Leave You’ with Amelle from Sugababes. He delivers a consistent package with Fraser T.Smith on the bulk of production duties (Craig David, Kano, N-Dubz). Stand out track has to be ‘Spotlight’, featuring Bristol’s very own Tanya Lacey on the chorus, a name to definitely look out for. Tinchy has a very promising future ahead of him; this is a decent album for someone so young. Lekan Latinwo
Jon Kennedy 14
(Organik Recordings) Apart from Phil Collins, most people would struggle to name a drummer that stands out from the rest of the band. This can’t be said for producer/DJ/sticker obsessive Jon Kennedy. Previous albums on both Tru Thoughts and Grand Central have set a high standard, and thankfully he’s smashed those and then some. Still sticking to the sound we know and love of well produced and crafted beats, he’s kept moving with the times without moving so far as to alienate his massive fan base. Highlights for me are ‘Demons’ and ‘Lovesick’ but there are plenty of top tunes to choose from. Aldo Vanucci

ASBO E.P (Soul:R)
There are not many record labels that you can say are ‘buy on sight’ but when it comes to SOUL:R there’s no hesitation. Man of the moment S.P.Y supplies us with four killer tracks showing us why he’s currently one of the most talked about new producers in the D’n’B scene. Whether you like your

The Young Republic Ballestesque
(End of the Road)
This Tennessee six-piece’s second album is the musical equivalent of sailing on a turbulent sea, or watching an action-packed drama with a plot that constantly twists and turns. Complex song structures are tightly delivered, subtly hinting at the band’s many influences: classical, folk, country and rock and roll – but they never stay in the same place too long to make obvious reference points. This album is a masterpiece and a potential classic, though it may not grab you on the first listen. But it’s well worth returning to it repeatedly. Arash Torabi
Drawings
Seven Deadly Sins (Self-release)
Matthew Reynolds, dear chap, will you ever be content in your muso endeavours? Hopefully not, if it means more of this genre-leaping majesty. Wrapped in a conceptual conceit, the debut mini-album from new trio, Drawings, is a reminder of how superior – and underrated – Reynolds is as a creator of emotionally full-tobursting pockets of alt. melodrama; the kind of intensely dynamic and troubled rock’n’roll that heals broken hearts. Bless. Backbone
Drum & Bass
Random
Dubstep seems to be the only thing left in dance music that really caters to creativity and experimentation. On this mix there’s dancehall reggae, techno, spoken word and some laidback styles. The DJs know when to chill and when to bang it, and the transition from one to another is smooth and almost unnoticeable. The heaviest tune for me is Jahdan Blakkamoore’s Long Road, co-remixed by Matt Shadetek. More please. Arash Torabi
Break
Return To The Temple E.P (Shogun Audio) Here we have four absolute gems! First up is the lead track ‘Winter Sun’ and those of you expecting a ‘Break’ trademark can think again, this has nothing but warm vibes from start to finish making it the perfect track as the cold months close in. ‘Now It’s Going’ is a slice of tear-out D’n’B ready to destroy the dancefloor! Break re-visits his 2007 smasher ‘Let It Happen’ with some VIP business, turning one classic into another. Last but not least we are left with ‘After Shower’, hitting you with something a little bit different to get your skank-on! A must have for all D’n’B lovers. IN:SIGHT/Ollie Evans
Pama International Outernational
(Rockers Revolt)
Another stunning album by the British reggae warriors who know the importance of soul. Coming like a Stax-meets-Trojan blend, Outernational is well produced, bass heavy and melodic. Sure, the presence of The Specials is strong, with Horace Panter King Tubby & Clancy on bass, Lynval Golding on guitar (and Eccles All Stars vocals on one song) and co-production Sound System from John Collins (producer of the classic International Dub LP Ghost Town). But the soulful voice of lead singer Finny, together with Sean (Pressure Sounds) Flowerdew’s (keyboards) songwriting lead Rare-as-fuck dub set produced by Clancy the way. My personal favourites: Equality & Eccles, played by The Dynamites and King Stitt and mixed by King Tubby. This album is Justice for All and Question the Answer. a real treasure, and so obscure that the only Arash Torabi copy of it in existence was found earlier this year. Opening the album is the organ-led Baroness ‘Dub Star’, which sets the scene for an Blue Record upbeat and mainly instrumental reggae set, (Relapse) with a hint of vocal here and there. ‘Kingston Dub Town’ is next, a smooth rework of the original. All the tracks were originally mixed I didn’t think it would be possible for Baroness to surpass ‘Red Album’ but, by as an album by Tubby and, it’s now been fuck, they have. Not by steering through remastered. A real corker. Arash Torabi uncharted waters but by pushing their accumulative sound to all extremes, in all DJ Rupture & directions, resulting in an astonishing opus Matt Shadetek that allows for all of their ‘70s/prog/folk/ Solar Life Raft punk/rock/sludge idiosyncrasies to thrive (The Agriculture Records) on a tidal wave of Southern metal that hairy Well-balanced dubstep DJ mix by Brooklyn Sabbath and pimply Muse fans alike will probably swoon over. Album of the year? duo who prove yet again just how many different styles you can pack into this genre. With tubular bells on. Backbone
Reviews by Jon Kennedy and Backbone
DEMOS
They don’t do demos, JULIAN GASKELL & HIS RAGGED TROUSERED PHILANTHROPISTS. They do fully realised works of prole art that eschews the idea of clambering up the music industry ladder only to land on a snake and end up in a heap of disappointment. True to form, ‘Here The Brute Harpies Make Their Nests’ finds Gaskell and Co stepping up a gear and self-releasing an album that oozes confidence, irreverence, independence and brilliance; cementing their reputation as Tom Waits and Gogol Bordello’s defiantly Cornish bastard offspring. Taking us into a tumbledown world of squeezeboxes, fiddles, percussive waywardness and intellectual drinking, these 14 songs will make you swell with underclass pride even if you’re a bourgeois bum, with a lyric booklet that is worth the admission fee alone. Magnificent. raggedtrouseredphilanthropists.co.uk Backbone Renowned Plymouth rapper now residing in Bristol, MILESTONE, has been setting the South West alight with his incendiary leftist wordfire for many years, via Spleen, The Cohorts, The Swamps and more. This solo venture finds the potty-mouthed, exiled Jannerchist in excellent fettle, teaming up with all manner of Westcountry beat-makers to construct an album, ‘Suicide Clutch Rap’, that should instill pride in the hearts of his friends and loathing in the bowels of his enemies. Which is just as it should be. Melding Blade’s relentless dynamic to Sage Francis’ intelligent explorations, the likes of ‘Killing The Pain’ and the awesome ‘Swamp Meat’ are snapshots of a life lived at the crossroads of hope and hate. Top drawer. myspace.com/milestonemusic145 Backbone THE STARKADDERS is an interesting name (from a book by Stella Gibbons) and an interesting little band (from East Devon). The trio, led by Rog Hunt – who has close ties with 247 reviews page regulars, Pop Noise Records – hark back to the good old days when indie-folk vignettes were pure and unassuming, and when songs strived to tell stories rather than sound egocentrically über-hip. As such, their 12-song album, ‘A Brief History Of Love And War’, feels like a bona fide, Broken Social Scene-esque, labour of love: slightly wonky, unfashionably out of step with the world, and motored by a swelling humanitarian heart. Rare treasures indeed in the Age of the Cynically Detached. myspace.com/thestarkadders Backbone Young soul upstart, STEPH NEWTON, may look like the girl next door but that never stopped Joss Stone turning into a loved (and subsequently loathed) international diva. Impressively, the 21 year-old Cornish songstress wrote, produced and played everything on her debut EP ‘Everything You Need’ – a clutch of songs that adequately showcase her woozy-bluesy soul croon, riven with pop sensibilities and a penchant for earthly longing. Opener, ‘Outta My Depth’, hints at the R&B glitz of Destiny’s Child while, elsewhere, she’s clearly paying homage to her heroes, Beverly Knight and Alicia Keys. When a little more of her own personality shines through, we could be looking at another South West, soul sister sensation. myspace.com/stephnewtonmusic Backbone
I guess it’s been a long time since any unreconstructed jazz funk dropped through the 247 letterbox. London/Reading ensemble, JUNKYARD SCIENTISTS, are here to redress the balance with the kind of groove-laden smarts that still manage to fill dance-floors to breaking point with nubile students and their gangly limbs. JS are well aware of all the funkoid tricks, but for every Sly Stone influenced nugget (‘Pullin’ On My Strings’, ‘Honeycomb’) there’s a misguided journey through the smug frug of Jamiroquai (’Fit Like A Glove’, ‘Mistress’). Pick of the bunch, ‘Domino’, benefits immensely from great backing vocals and spiky rock guitar interludes that display an understanding of soul fusion lineage. myspace.com/junkyardscientists Backbone The music on KASHA’s track Wildheart is GOD AWFUL. The “story” is also something I just don’t care about… sorry. Nice MCing. TERRIBLE subject! It’s very synthetic and could be made in Reason in about 150 seconds surely? myspace.com/vividimageryuk Jon Kennedy SOULVIBE’s track Want You Back is a little long – three minutes would have been ample. Good musicianship, nice vocals and so on, but things are sounding very Boys II Men and dated. This is nicely recorded in general, but a little lacking in soul on the instrumental side of things. myspace.com/svsoulvibe Jon Kennedy The QUEENS ENGLISH feature a piano on their track Full Limit (ft Embee of Looptroop and Mr Chips) which is pretty unusual alongside this kind of gear. Not bad at all but a little geezah geezah for me. Tight, bouncy and clean. myspace.com/queensenglish Jon Kennedy I feel that REE has added an unnecessary intro to track ‘No Time To Waste’. This is a simple song and just over three minutes should be perfect for something of this nature! I actually like the mediocre voice, it gives the track charm and it seems she’s not trying too hard, which is refreshing. Production skills are good enough to be able to hear everything too. reverbnation.com/reemelody Jon Kennedy Dusuyorum by AK09 is not bad musically and has some interesting structure in places. The MCing is tight enough for the record, but it sounds like a million others. I quite like the French injection though, and this is an ample production that reaches beyond a usual MC/hip hop demo. http://www.ak09.moonfruit.com/#/music/4534625957 Jon Kennedy I like the Casio keyboard drums a lot on PROFIT’s Code Of The Rogue ft Necaras. Super up-to-date sounds actually! This track features some tight MCing that’s not too aggressive, which is refreshing. Great production: this is clear, crisp and audible!myspace.com/voiceactivatedproductions Jon Kennedy

With pounding, multilayered African beats and powerful acapella vocals, and a wildly dynamic, 30-strong company which throws heart and soul into a dizzyingly high energy succession of jumping, jiving, acrobatic dance numbers, the show tells the story of a boy named Zilli, born in the slums of a mining township in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, as he journeys to fulfil a footballing dream in the big city. As he battles against the dangers of the big city, and seeks to carve out a future as a football star, he becomes embroiled in a desperate ancestral fight. It’s 90 minutes of edge-of-the-seat action from kick off to final whistle, which reaches a triumphant resolution with only seconds to spare.

Tallahassee is an AK-toting, zombieslaying bad ass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth.

Dir: Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Ben Kingsley. 2009/US/148 mins It’s 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He’s been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn’t been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals escape in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything - his memory, his partner, even his own sanity. Director Martin Scorsese teams up with Leonardo DiCaprio for their fourth film on the trot, and this could be their finest collaboration yet.
