The Cribs have lashed out at British guitar bands for betraying their indie principles.
Speaking ahead of the September release of their new album _Ignore The Ignorant, frontman Ryan Jarman said: "People aren’t doing it [indie music] well.
"The people who are in it for the wrong reasons have fallen by the wayside."
Ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, who joined the band for the album, added: "Whether you want to call it politics with a small ‘p’, or in capitals, the band have made no apologies about being political in the past. That makes us a different prospect to a bunch of bands in white plastic suits.
"Everyone knows that The Cribs as a group of individuals rather than coming off some cold ironic faceless band conveyor belt."
