The Cribs Let You Inside Their Mobile Crib

The Cribs, a melodic punk trio of brothers from Yorkshire, England, released their third album Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever last month, and it's quickly become one of our office favorites. When the band came through New York City on tour we hung out with them before their show at the Bowery Ballroom. Check out this video in which the boys chat about the rigors of the road, their influences, and growing up as bandmates and brothers. After you watch the video, click through this snazzy Cribs photo gallery here.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
