English indie rock band
The Cribs have announced the release of their new studio album titled '
24-7 Rock Star Shit'.
The follow-up to 2015's '
For All My Sisters' will be available on August 11th.
Recorded live to tape in just 5 days by venerated underground engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Shellac, Pixies), the album marks a return to the band's early roots with it's raw, rough-around-the-edges approach and sonic aggression.
Originally conceived during recording sessions for the band's fifth album 'In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull' these recordings were elevated to qua-si mythical status amongst the bands famously dedicated fan-base, with ex-citement building for a "punk album" flipside to 2015's more pop-leaning 'For All My Sisters'. Originally intended as an EP, once sessions were completed the band found that they had recorded enough material for an album and decided it should be released that way instead - "That approach just really suits us, we were just having too much fun I guess" laughs the band.
The band have also previewed the album with "
Rainbow Ridge", pre-order the album
