The Cribs’ Outstanding Decade – Inside This Week’s Magazine
It’s been 12 months since their Punk Prayer and still two members of the Russian band are in jail. Sadly, they’re not the only ones. All over the world people are getting in trouble, just for their love of music. NME investigates…

It’s all round the Sonic Youth man’s house for a lovely cup of coffee and chats about setting fire to amps and literally fighting your audience. Sorry, audience.

On which the following things happened: we saved Doug from Peace’s life, someone urinated on Chilli Palma Violets’ leg on a dancefloor, Miles Kane wore an all-leather outfit. It was amazing.

It’s here! It’s here! Palma Violets’ debut album is here! And isn’t it good, eh? Or is it? Read the NME verdict and find out.

It’s here! It’s here! Johnny Marr’s debut album is here! Yeah you heard, his debut. It’s been a long time coming, but The Smiths, Modest Mouse and The Cribs man has finally gone solo.

Albums by Atoms For Peace and Theme Park, as well as Hurts, Foals, Tribes and Kraftwerk gigs.
