[edit] The Cribs
Ryan formed The Cribs in the early 2000s with his twin brother Gary and younger brother Ross. They originally planned for fellow friend Myles Shapcott to join but this didn't materialise because of musical differences.
The band are known for their short, punchy tunes with pop riffs and a lo-fi sound - influenced by bands like Huggy Bear, Comet Gain and Beat Happening. The Cribs have released three albums on the Wichita label, the first two being The Cribs (produced by Ed Deegan and Bobby Conn), and The New Fellas (produced by Edwyn Collins, singer in influential indie band Orange Juice).
The Cribs' third album, Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever was released on 21 May 2007; the record was produced by Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand.
[edit] Controversy
Jarman has made some memorable TV appearances, including music panel show Never Mind The Buzzcocks, where he took credit for inspiring Live 8, by texting Bob Geldof and suggesting a Live Aid 2.
At the 2006 NME Awards, Jarman was seriously injured when he collected an award on behalf of Franz Ferdinand. In his haste to accept it, he jumped across the Kaiser Chiefs' table, breaking a large jar containing 'Flying Saucer' sweets and stabbing himself in the back on one of the shards.[2] He spent 4 hours in hospital receiving 15 stitches before returning to party at the awards, where he went missing, only to be found by Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe bleeding heavily.
Another ambulance was called and he returned to hospital, where he was stitched internally (to repair a rip to the membrane around the kidney that the first surgeon had missed) and externally then discharged the next morning.
At Glastonbury 2007 Jarman declared; "The mainstream attitude of indie bands today is a bigger problem than global warming", a quote which led to a lengthy interview in the NME.[3]
