The Cribs unveil new single 'A Point Too Hard To Make'

UK indie heroes The Cribs have unveiled their latest single 'A Point Too Hard To Make', a shimmering, emotionally-charged follow-up to August’s 'Summer Seizures'. The track arrives ahead of their long-awaited new album 'Selling A Vibe', due out on the 9th January via Play It Again Sam.

Combining glistening guitar work with the band’s signature dual vocals, the new single is a striking reflection on the aftermath of youth, fame, and the search for connection. It also delves into the band’s roots and unbreakable brotherhood; themes echoed in the touching embrace between Gary and Ryan Jarman in the accompanying video.

“All that 2000s damage,” Gary reflects. “We were small-town romantics handed everything we ever dreamed of – but what do you do when the party ends? That’s what this one’s about.”
