Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever by The Cribs

Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever, the third album by Wakefield's Jarman brothers, came out on Wichita on 21 May 2007, with Warner Bros. handling it in America. Twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and their younger brother Ross had been lumped in with the Libertines and the rest of the scruffy British guitar gang, and this is the record where they shook the tag loose: Ryan's yelp and guitar still sound like they were bashed out in a garage, but the hooks are sharper and the sneer has a wink in it.

It put them in front of a much bigger crowd, reached thirteen on the UK Albums Chart and came in at number nine on NME's albums of the year, with "Men's Needs" itself at number three in the same rundown.
