The Cribs Announce New Album Details and Tour

 The Cribs have annouced their first album since 2009's excellent Ignore the Ignorant. Called 'In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull' it is due for release on May the 7th, and is their first album since 2007 that doesn't feature Johnny Marr after he left the band last year. I really enjoyed the last album but curious as to how this will sound since Marr's departure. The tracklisting is as follows:

Glitters Like Gold
Come On Be A No-One
Jaded Youth
Anna
Confident Man
Uptight
Chi-Town
Pure O
Back To The Bolthole
I Should Have Helped
Stalagmites
Like A Gift Giver
Butterflies
Arena Rock Encore With Full Cast

8th May - Troxy, London
9th May - O2 Academy, Bristol
11th May - Barrowlands, Glasgow
