The Cribs are an indie rock band from Wakefield, England. Johnny Marr (The Smiths, Modest Mouse) was a member of the group for a few years. The Cribs have made seven albums and the last three made it into the U.K. top ten.The Cribs are similar to The Libertines, The Future Heads and Kaiser Chiefs. They are influenced mainly by Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Teenage Fan Club and Weezer. Come On, Be A No-One was the second single from their fifth album In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull (2012). Come On, Be A No-One is The Cribs best song, a punk rocker that AAA Music said “is a slice of total genius, perfectly encapsulating the scrappy punk rock energy of their first two albums and the more considered ‘proper rock band’ stylings of their last two.”
